This week in literacy P.1 have been revising the set 2 sounds of ‘ay’, ‘ee’, ‘igh’, ‘ow’, ‘oo’, ‘or’, ‘ou’ and ‘oy’. At home they can practise writing the sounds with pencils and felt pens. At home the children can use their sounds to make words and write them too. They can practise writing simple sentences with some of their words. P.1 also practised reading all the tricky words and learned new tricky words ‘we’ and ‘she’. They wrote some of the tricky words and a sentence on whiteboards. They used the magnetic boards to make words with the set 2 digraphs of ‘sh’, ‘ch’and ‘th’. They enjoyed using word wheels to make, read and write words. They wrote a dictation sentence in their jotters. At home they can practise reading and writing their new tricky words.
In numeracy the children counted forwards and back and revised their doubles addition sums. They have been learning about measure. They have been using measuring tapes and non-standard units of measure such as cubes. They have used volume containers in the water and sand areas.
This week in RE P.1 were listening to the story of The Resurrection and thought about how Jesus’ friends must have felt when they saw him again. They drew a picture of Jesus with the apostles and discussed and wrote what vocabulary would express the feelings of the apostles.
