We have had a great first week of term 3 in P1. It was lovely to see all the smiley faces on Monday and hear lots of stories from the holidays.
On Monday we shared what we had been up to and did some holiday news writing. It is great to see the progress in the children’s writing and increase in confidence when sharing stories.
We have been busy learning two new sounds this week. We started with ai (our first digraph) and the children were great detectives at finding the ai words in a story.
They have also been super keen to write out ai words…
And practising writing the sound on whiteboards…
Our second new sound was j. We did lots of sensory activities, had some messy fun with jelly and made jam sandwiches! 😋🥪
In Maths this week we have learning about money. We started by talking about money and looking at the different coins. We are working on ordering the coins from 1p to £2. 
Our Chromebook Buddy session was full of laughs as we started creating our own book. We each had to design a page with a photo, our name and a sound file. We are excited about doing more with this in the next few weeks.
We have also enjoyed lots of different soft start activities and today we started turning our role play into a shop!
A great start to the new term. Well done to all the children for their ongoing enthusiasm, hard work, determination and kindness. 😊👍
