We’ve had a very busy and very enjoyable week in Year 1!

 

In English, the children have been learning about non-fiction texts through the book ‘Bats’ by Megan Cullis. They have been identifying the features, summarising information and generating questions that they would like to find out the answer to.

 

In Maths, the children completed their unit based on mass and volume.

 

Next week:

 

Maths- The children will be learning place value to 50. They will be counting in ones and tens to 50, making groups of tens and ones and partitioning. Maths day is on Wednesday and the children will be carrying out activities on statistics and data handling.

Reading

Can you please ensure that you comment in your child’s reading record each week. It would be great if reading books and logs could be returned to school by Wednesday as it gives us a chance to comment on their reading that week. Thank you.

 

We hope you have a fantastic weekend
