Our topic this term has now changed and the children are learning all about ‘Antarctica’.
On Thursday this week we want to take the children on a walk around the school grounds, whilst pretending that we’re all going on an expedition! The children will need to bring in their hats, gloves, scarves and a warm coat if possible. We want to bring our topic work to life!
Just a quick reminder…
Please make sure that your child is accessing their weekly E-book and Book bag book during the week as this helps greatly with their fluency. The children will receive new reading homework every Friday and will then be expected to bring their books back on a Wednesday morning all completed with a short comment in their reading diaries. Thank you to all those who are already supporting us with this. Just to let you know, the children won’t be receiving a book bag book this week but the E-book and quiz will be set as normal.
Lots of our Year One children are now accessing our Maths App ‘Numbots’ which helps to consolidate what we learn in class. This is super! If your child hasn’t yet gone onto ‘Numbots’ their logging in details can be found in their reading diaries (1st page)
We are now checking their progress and it looks like we have lots of super mathematicians! Well done!
Spellings
Spellings are now in full flow and your child should have received a weekly spelling list from the teacher. As we come to the end of our first half term new spellings will be sent home for your child to learn.
The children have all worked so hard this first half term and we would like to say a big thankyou for all of your support so far. It was lovely to meet so many parents last week and look forward to the lead up to Christmas! We wish you all a great half term break.
Many thanks
Year 1 Team
The children are all doing well in their new phonics groups! Please make sure that your child brings in their reading books and diaries on a daily basis. The children will come home with a new book every Friday and will also be able to access their E-book and quiz through Oxford Owl (Log in details are in your child’s reading diary) Thank you for your support!
Year 1 Team
Year 1 will be heading out to Twycross Zoo this coming Friday and it’s always a great trip! Lets hope we have some sunshine! Please make sure that your child is fully prepared for the day and has suitable shoes and a raincoat just in case!
Many thanks!
The children have made a great start to the year so far! We’ll be using the blog to post weekly news and keep you up to date with what’s going on!
They have started in their new phonics groups and we have been impressed with how many children have completed their online homework. Please encourage your child to do the reading and complete the quizzes each week as this supports their learning in class and the progress that they make. Their log in details can be found at the front of their reading diaries. The phonics teachers can also check who has completed the homework and the children will receive extra dojos for doing their homework.
The children are adapting well to their new classrooms and have been very busy over the past couple of weeks. They have enjoyed learning all about Julia Donaldson our author study and have had daily story times!
