Good afternoon,
This week we used the long weekend as a meaningful context in which to develop our listening and talking skills as we shared with our classmates what we had enjoyed doing. The children have been working on giving enough detail to make their meaning clear, to tell the `when, where, who and what’. They have also been working on being a good audience by looking at the speaker and giving appropriate responses.
Also in literacy, we were learning the skill of sequencing parts of a story. Following reading, the children were given 3 jumbled sentences to put in the right order. This week we were sequencing 3 sentences about the story of ` Jack and the Beanstalk`.
In our outdoor session on Welly Wednesday we planted our very own beans and are hoping that we will soon be able to climb our beanstalks to a castle in the clouds, just like Jack.
In numeracy this week we were continuing with our topic of subtraction. Rather than using pictures for support, we were using our fingers to answer our sums.
The highlight of our week was reaching the Daily Mile Destination of Chile.
Have a super weekend,
Mrs.Davie and P1a
