This week at school we have enjoyed listening
to the story of ‘The Bog Baby’ which we then made a story map of. This story has inspired us to create our own
stories using a story mountain format, we have planned the characters, setting,
beginning, middle and end. Next week we
will begin using the shoe boxes to create our story world and write up our
final version of the story.
In maths this week we have been learning
about odd and even numbers and sorting numbers to 100 into this pattern. We have continued this learning to then count
in 2’s and fill in missing numbers on a number line. We learnt that you can say number 1 quietly
and then 2 loudly, 3 quietly and then 4 loudly to help with this.
Thank you for your support with the
children’s spellings – these will be checked in a very informal way during our
daily phonic session. The children are
used to having to think of ways to spell and write words during these
sessions. The next sets of spellings we have
sent home you will see are all tricky words and this is the way that we will
continue for now.
We’ve begun practising the songs for our
Christmas performances and so far these are going very well! What a choir of angels we already have – hope
you will agree as you will probably hear them practising at home.
We have sent home the next home learning –
the first piece needs to be handed in by Wednesday 22nd November and
we will return your child’s book by Friday 24th November. The second piece will then be due by
Wednesday 6th December.
Have
a great Weekend – The Year 1 team.
