Month: September 2019

Rights Respecting Russel (AKA Humpty Dumpty) helped us this week with our skills. We are developing a really important skill – ‘working together cooperatively with others’.

The challenge was to build Humpty Dumpty a new wall! To be really successful working together we can:

• talk and listen together

• build one model (not one each! :-))

• stay with our team

• take turns and share

Phonics – We are learning to identify and say the sound.

This week we started our phonics learning with the sound ‘a’. We played I spy and did lots of listening to the word as we said it out loud to match sounds and letters. We made apples for the wall and had to draw pictures beginning with ‘a’.

Maths –

We are learning to count to match.

We are learning to form our numbers correctly.

PE

The children made a great job of getting changed into PE clothes this week and we have been both inside moving rhythmically to music following a beat and outside practising our ball skills.

We are learning a new action rhyme.

Five little monkeys sitting in a tree,

Teasing Mr Crocodile, ‘You can’t catch me!’

Along came Mr Crocodile as quiet as can be…

SNAP…

Ask the children what happens next!!

We are learning to use the ‘snappy crocodile’ pencil grip to help with our handwriting skills and build on our fine motor skills. Great effort everyone 😉

Success goes to P1 and P1/2 this week as they are the classes that have been chosen as ‘best class’ for the weekl We celebrated at assembly as all of the children have settled into school life with ease. So proud of our little learners. 🙂

This week we meet Mum. We are learning to read ORT words and we have introduced some high frequency sight words. Well done P1, you are successful learners! 🙂
