Hello all,

It has been a busy week of learning in Year 1. Our beautiful Space display reflects how excited and engaged the children have been in their learning. The highlight of the week was the Big Bang experiment. I am sure that the children will be happy to tell you all about it.

Phonics

This week we have revisited the following letter sounds: ur, ow, oi, ear.

Next week we will focus on: air, ure, er.

The children have been working hard on their handwriting, and they are becoming much better at making up their own sentences. Please play the game I have suggested last week with the words: burn, cow, coin, hear.

Spelling

Please practise reading and writing following tricky words: he, she, we, me, be.

Maths

In Maths we have been working on number bonds up to 10. We have used ten frames to work on the number bonds practically.

We will continue on developing our number bonds knowledge next week.

Can I please ask that the children bring their book bags to school every day from next week. 

And finally, next week is Walk To School Week, celebrating ‘Clean Air Day’ on Thursday 8^th October.  We are encouraging as many of you as possible to walk, cycle or scoot to school throughout next week.  If your journey is too far to walk, then you could try to drive partway then walk the rest.

Thank you very much for your support.

Have a good weekend

Mrs Sheehan
