P1A Weekly Learning Highlights 12th September 2025

This week we have had a super week of learning.

In Literacy we were learning the sound ‘c’ we know it is a yellow, short, bouncy sound.  We were able to recall words that have the ‘c’ sound at the start of the word.  We also practised the formation of ‘c’ and made cats and caterpillars.  We differentiated between m and c.  This week we looked at the common word can and we tried to write it in a sentence.

In maths we looked at the numbers 6 and 7.  We used numicon to order numbers and then show different ways to make a number – for example 6 can be made by adding 2 + 4 and 3 +3.  We were introduced to 5/10 frames and made different amounts remembering to fill the top line first.

In Health and WellBeing we finished learning about the zones of regulation and looked at the colour yellow and the words worried and silly.  We discussed what makes us worried and what we can do to try and not worry.  We also made silly scribbles.

For our sense of hearing we listened to noises/sounds and we had to guess what they were.  We listened outside and drew pictures of the wind, the leaves rustling, an aeroplane and a seagull.  We played guess the instrument game and also made our own shakers.

Everyone agreed this week our learning highlight was playing out in the Woodlands.  We discussed risk assessment at ground, eye and high level and how to keep ourselves safe.  We took a tour of the woodlands discussing the boundaries of where we can play.  We got to pracitse entering and exiting the firepit safely.  We listened for sounds and drew what we heard.  Then we had time to choose our own learning.  We were so excited to find a fairydoor on a tree but we didnt see any fairies.

Well done to St Francis our winning house this week and congratulations to  Amelia  our Hot Chocolate winner this week.  Amelia works very hard and always tries her best.

We look forward to a shorter week next week full of fun and learning.
