Year One,
It has been a long half term and the children have managed the transition from Reception really well. They are tired now and in need of the break.
This week we have been writing shopping lists and reports. For maths we have been grouping according to the whole/part model and learning the vocabulary for addition. We had a great afternoon creating mosaics and the children were keen to take them home. The children had a science and history quiz to consolidate all they have learned this half term. They were extremely successful and enjoyed revisiting the topics.
It was so helpful to see you all at the parent consultation sessions as it gives me greater insight as to other aspects of the children.
I sent the children home with a handwriting sheet and the directions for parents to teach the correct formulation of the letters. Many parents requested this at the parent consultations so I thought it may be helpful for all of you.
I will write on my blog next Friday to give you information about the teaching and learning for the next half term.
I wish you all a restful and happy holiday and look forward to seeing you on Monday 4th November.
