Hello Year One,
We have had a busy week. The children have continued to work with money in maths lessons. We also carried out several maths fluency sessions this week.
It was lovely to hear the excitement in the children's voices when they described receiving their letters. They wrote reports on pirates this week and were able to use titles and sub-headings. We also focused on our favourite stories. The children wrote book reports and were able to explain why they liked the stories and brief descriptions about the books.
More 'houses' have arrived and we have made the decision to keep them at school until 3rd May so that the children can share them during our class assembly.
It was great to see so many of you at the phonics meeting. I hope it was helpful. Don't forget to look on my page under 'sounds' as the information will be helpful.
NEXT WEEK

We will begin to work on counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. The children will be using number lines, tens frames and bead strings.
For our fluency sessions we will be focusing on number bonds to 10, 20 and 30 and odd and even numbers.

The children will be planning and writing adventure stories about pirates. They will write about their visit to the church, which takes place on Thursday 4th April at 9am.
Art
We will be using water colour paints to extend a picture of a blossom tree.

We will be visiting the church and learning more about baptism in Christianity.

The children will complete their home structure evaluations.
On Monday morning we will be watching the KS2 production of 'Rock Bottom.' We are all very excited to see this show.
We will be finishing school at 2pm on Friday as it will be the last day of the Spring term.
I wish you a happy weekend.
Ms Davis
