This week in literacy P.1 have been revising the sounds of ‘nk’ and ‘ng’. 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. They used magnetic boards to make words with the digraphs of ‘nk’, and ‘ng’. They wrote words and a dictation sentence in their jotters. At home they can practise reading and writing tricky words and using them in a sentence.
In numeracy the children were looking at different addition number stories within 10. This week the focus was on the number stories for 9. They had to find all the different ways to add to 9 using 2 numbers. At home they can practice writing addition sums for 1-9.
In RE P.1 were finishing their ‘God’s Loving Plan focus. They were learning that their mum is special as she gave birth to them after they grew for 9 months in their mother’s womb. They also listened to the Bible story of ‘Jesus walks on Water’ and talked about what is a miracle.
