This week has been very busy in Year 1.
On Monday we continued our science topic all about the
weather. We made our own weather diaries and have been completing these every
day. We have looked and listened carefully to what we could see and hear each
day. We also started learning more about the seasons and changes that occur
during these times of the year. We worked in our colour groups to sort a
selection of pictures for each season.
In maths, we have revisited addition and subtraction. We all
used concrete objects to solve problems including missing number sums.
In English, we discovered the name of our new Power of
Reading book – Lila and the Secret of Rain. We read the story and considered the
message that the author could be portraying through her story. We also thought
about our favourite parts of the story and wrote sentences focussing on correct
punctuation.
This week the children have completed their phonics
screening. We looked at 20 real words and 20 alien words. The children
carefully used their decoding skills to read all of these words. The results
will be shared with you on the children’s end of year reports.
We have also been practising our dance in preparation for
the summer fayre and look forward to seeing you all there on Friday at 5pm.
Home Learning
The new Splendid Skies home learning tasks for this half term are coming home with your child tonight. If they did not bring their blue book in last term, they will be given the sheet with the activities on. Please could you stick this into their book?
Spellings - again, some books have not been brought into school today so words could not be stuck into those books. The words to practice for this week are:
seven eight white black
Reminder
Please can you remind your child that toys should only be brought into school for 'Show and Tell' on a Friday or if they have been asked to bring them in for a special event.
Thank you
