This week in literacy P.1 have continued work on set 3 sounds. They have been learning ‘u-e’ to make magic ‘e’ words such as ‘tune’, ‘tube’, ‘June’, ‘cute’, ‘dune’, ‘cube’, ‘chute’, and ‘use’. 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 ‘u-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, after and between. They have been ordering numbers to 20 forwards and backwards and writing in any missing numbers. They have been adding amounts within 10. At home they can count forwards and backwards from different numbers and can practise adding two amounts together. They have been learning to recognise coins and say which can buy more. At home they can practise putting coins in order from least to most.
Mr Devine the PE teacher had a Sport’s Day rehearsal for P.1 on the Astro this week. They practised the egg and spoon race, the floor is lava, football dribbling, the obstacle course and the relay race. All the children worked hard and enjoyed all the sporting activities.
