We have started our Run, Jump, Throw PE unit. As part of this we learn how to throw a shot put and discus, run in lanes, jump over hurdles and the high jump, long jump and long distance running. It is a lot to learn! We get to showcase our skills at our whole School Athletics Day at the end of the term. Here are some photos of us practising our shot put.
We use the Jolly Phonics order to teach our letters.
So we don't teach the letters/sounds A, B, C etc.
The order we use is... s, a, t, i, p, n ck, e, h, r, m, d g, o, u, l, f, b ai, j, oa, ie, ee, or z, w, ng, v, oo(book), oo (moon) y, x, ch, sh, th.
We use this order so that we can learn to quickly write small words like sat, sit, pit, pin, tin etc.
We also use this video clip at school each day to help us. Each week we focus on a letter/sound to learn, read and write about. We do this through phonics, singing, reading stories, handwriting, alphabet activities, letter writing, play dough, Language Experience, make and do and lots of other things.
This week we are learning about the letter Pp.
We will learn its name, its sound, how to write and recognise it and about some things that begin with this letter.
The teachers love planning exciting learning experiences to help us learn our letters.
At the moment we LOVE alphabet songs so Miss Collins has posted a couple of videos/songs about the letter Pp that we might like.
How many Pp words can you see and hear in these You Tube Clips Room One?

We played a game to develop our locomotor skills which involved us moving around others. This is an important skill for invasion games.
After that we played a game where we had to move through the hoops in different ways and drop a bean bag for the next person in our team to pick up. It was good to practise taking turns in a relay situation.

This year we welcomed 11 new learners into Room One with Miss Collins and Mrs Cherry. We have been busy learning the new school routines and getting to know each other. Miss Collins teaches us until 11.30am and then Mrs Cherry takes over.
When we come to school we have a daily 'Morning Message' to complete. Miss Collins changes it each day. On Tuesday we drew our family and Miss Collins took a photo.
