January 9, 2020 – Primary 1

Welcome back to one and all. It has been a wonderful week and a super start to the New Year. The children are raring to go and their smiles and enthusiasm are infectious. We have worked hard and are hoping that everyone is not too tired as Friday is on it’s way.

Phonics

We have consolidated all of the initial sounds this week, practising our word building and breaking!

Everyone is trying really hard to use these skills not only during phonics but transferring these to our writing and reading also.

Try the Lily Pad Pond Game (cvc words)

Writing – Why do we have daytime and night-time?

We can choose the correct word to complete the sentence.

We completed information sentences to explain why we have day and night. Great phonics skills were evident as children used the initial sounds to choose the correct word and of course some great pictures of the Sun and Earth.

Numeracy

We are learning to count backwards. We are learning to give the number after and the number before a given number.

Keep practising this at home as it can be tricky! 🙂

Mapping

We are learning to use materials to create a 3D map of our school.

We had great fun this week choosing materials to have an ‘Mapping Art Attack’. We picked the main features of the school and tried to put them in the correct place on the map!
