This week in literacy P.1 have continued work on set 3 sounds. They have been focusing on ‘a-e’ to make magic ‘e’ words such as ‘fate’, ‘bake’, ‘kale’, ‘cake’, ‘made’, ‘late’, ‘chase’, ‘same’, ‘shake’. They have also been revising the tricky words. Please encourage your child to read and write the tricky words at home. They can make and write cvc and cvcv words with ‘a-e’ at home for revision. Your child can also choose a word and make up a simple sentence to say and then write.
In numeracy the children have continued counting and saying what number comes before and after. They have been ordering numbers to 20 forwards and backwards and writing in any missing numbers. Saying what is 1 more and 1 less, 2 more and 2 less. They can continue practising adding numbers within 10 and doubles and near doubles sums at home.
In RE P.1 learned about the Feast of the Ascension. They took part in the Feast of the Ascension Mass at St Mary Magdalene’s with their P.7 buddies. They did very well with some P.1 children carrying gifts and the offertory up to the altar and they all sang out beautifully.
