Weekly round up!

Wow what a quick week! I can’t believe we are now half through term one of P1.

This week we learnt the sounds p and n. I am really impressed with all the hard work for the homework task, keep up the great work everyone. Don’t forget the songs for each sound can be found on YouTube to practise at home.

We especially enjoyed writing the sounds in the air, on the carpet and on a partners back this week.

We were developing our balancing skills in gym on Wednesday. We had a go at balancing cones on different parts of our bodies. Lots of concentration was needed for this!

As part of our topic learning we have been reading The Gruffalo, we also watched the story on the smart board. We had a go at acting out the story too! We are getting really food at retelling the story and sequencing the main events.

During our Chromebook buddy session we were sharing the story with our buddies, they read it to us and showed us some videos.

The story got us thinking about our feelings. We talked about our different feelings, what makes us feel these ways and what we can to do help us when we are feeling scared or worried.

We then met the ‘Mood Monsters’ which we are now using for our emotional check in and made some worry monsters to have for when we feel worried. We also talked about how it is important to talk about our feelings, and if we speak to someone it can help to make us feel better.

We have been singing songs about feelings too, our favourite one is the ‘Angry Song’ !

On Thursday we went outside into the garden. More balancing (along tight ropes this time), hoops and ships! A great end to the day. 😊

This morning we were learning about our teeth and how we can look after them. Why don’t you ask to see if we can remember? 😊

We then had lots of fun making our own mouths using mini marshmallows! We will use these for our dental hygiene display. This was developing our fine motor skills as it required us using our pincer grip to pick up the marshmallows. We were also counting and using scissor skills to cut out the tongue!

I really enjoyed listening to our Show and Tell talks today. The children are becoming more and more confident at speaking in front of the class as well as improving their listening skills.
