Hello Year One,
This week the children have written stories about losing a toy. They wrote about their feelings when this happened and how they felt when the toy was found!
We have been working on the vocabulary and understanding of fewer, more than, least, the smallest, the largest in maths. The children have been recognising pictorial representations of number.
Following our visit to the church, the children wrote about the different harvests and drew pictures to represent the celebration.
Harvest Celebration
It was great to see so many of you this morning for the Harvest Celebration. The children have loved learning the songs and they sang their hearts out today!
Reading
Reading groups are progressing well and the children enjoy the shared experience. There are still a number of children without the reading records. Next week I will issue new records to any children who still do not have one in school. These records must remain in their book bags and come into school every day. The adults who hear them read write comments for you in these books and we would also like to know how you find the reading experience with your child.
Handwriting
As you are aware we follow 'The Little Wandle' programme for reading and writing. I am sending the letter formation sheets home for you to use with your child.
Maths
I am sending you login details for the online maths programme that you can access for your child. If you have any queries about this please let me know.
Next Week
I am planning on taking the children for a walk in the local woods next Wednesday 12th October. We will be focusing on the changes to the environment in Autumn. I will need at least four parent/carer helpers. If you would like to come please let me know. We aim to leave school at 9am and are usually back just after 10am.
The children will need to wear wellington boots and coats.
The trip will be postponed if it is raining!
English
Our focus will be identifying and describing characters and feelings. We will be reading the book 'Voices in the Park' by Anthony Browne.
The children will be writing about characters. They will be forming sentences and concentrating on the correct punctuation. We will be identifying the key events in the story.
Science
We will be focusing on the changes to the weather, the environment and wildlife in the season of Autumn.
Maths
We will focus on ordering values, ordering consecutive numbers, linking counting and sequencing.
I hope you all have a relaxing and happy weekend.
Ms Davis
