This week in P1

What a busy week we have had in P1.

We started to learn digraph sounds, which can be a wee bit tricky as its when 2 letters make a sound e.g. ee in feet and ai in chair. We worked with magnetic letter boards to sound out, listen to sounds and build words and then draw them.  We used our ‘ai’ sound to write facts about a snail, Mrs Meikle was very impressed with our writing as lots of us remembered to try and use the connecting word ‘and’.

We have been learning all about snails this week for our Living Things topic. We enjoyed making a snail craft. We also looked at the butterfly life cycle, which we made out of pasta.

We looked at symmetry this week in math and made a symmetrical butterfly using paint. We had lots of fun learning to count in 2s and 10s, we really like it when we can shout the numbers really loud.

We enjoyed exploring new toys in the area.
