Good afternoon,
The children have
worked very hard this week. On Monday, we had our first sharing assembly. Well
done to the children who stood up in front of the whole school and talked about
their amazing work.
On Wednesday, the
children had an assembly about Remembrance Day. They took part in a one-minute
silence today at 11am where they were reverent and reflective.
In phonics this week
the children have learnt the alternative pronunciations for the graphemes o, i,
a and e. They also learnt the tricky words Mr, Mrs, Ms and Ask.
Next Week
Maths- The children
will be introduced to parts and wholes, write number sentences and explore
number addition number facts.

as we continue to work from the book 'Farmer Duck.'
History- The children

PSHE- Monday is Odd

Half Term
project
This term we are studying
castles in History. For your half term project, we would like you to create
your own castle. Please feel free to be as imaginative as you would like! This
could be a model, no bigger than a shoe box, or a drawing up to A3 in size. You
could include some of the following features:
· moat
· drawbridge
· high
walls
· turrets
· battlements
· towers
· portcullis
If you have any questions
about this project, please do not hesitate to come and see me. The completed
project needs to be returned to school on Monday 8th January 2024.
We can’t wait to see your
completed castle!
We wish you all a
happy and relaxing weekend.
The Year 1 team
