Hello everyone,
It’s been a very busy and
exciting week in Year 1!
In English, the children
have been working with the story The Tiger Who Came to Tea. They’ve been
sequencing the events, describing the tiger using some fantastic adjectives,
and writing a shopping list for Sophie to use after the tiger’s unexpected
visit! We’ve also begun our daily phonics lessons, revising Phase 2 and 3
sounds and tricky words. Alongside this, the children have started their group
reading sessions, which take place three times a week.
In Maths, we’ve been sorting
and counting objects, including counting from larger groups. The children have
enjoyed using practical resources to support their learning and develop their
number sense.
In History, we introduced
our topic on Toys from the Past. The children had a lovely time drawing and
writing about their favourite toys, and we had some great discussions about why
those toys are special to them.
Well done, Year 1 — you’ve
worked so hard this week, and we’re really proud of you!
Next week
English
The children will be working
from the book ‘Beegu’ by Alexis Deacon to learn about adjectives. They will be
making lists and writing sentences to describe the character of Beegu.
Maths
The children will be
recognising numbers as words, counting on from any number and finding 1 more
and 1 less. The children will also be focusing on number formation. We’ll be
practising how to form each number correctly, using a range of fun and hands-on
activities to help develop their confidence and fine motor skills.

The children will be
thinking about the people and places that make them feel special and safe.

Reading books
This
week, we have assessed the children and provided them with reading books
matched to the sounds and tricky words they are secure with. Alongside their
decodable reading book, they have also chosen a library book to enjoy being
read to.
Please
support your child by reading their decodable book together and commenting in
their reading record about how they found the book.
Thank
you for your continued support. We hope you all have a lovely weekend!
