Dear Year One,
We have had a busy week! We are ready to perform 'Bethlehem Is Buzzin!' next week as our dress rehearsal today was successful.
The children are still enjoying fun in the grotto!
For English this week we have been working on split vowel digraphs a-e, i-e and e-e. The children carried out a comprehension task which they completed successfully. We explored rhyming words and went on to write Christmas poems which are wonderful!
For maths we have been looking at making equal groups with the whole being the same and the parts being different. We have been counting in twos, fives and tens and working on our number bonds to five, ten and twenty.
Next Week
The children have worked so hard to learn the songs, actions and dances for the Christmas production. We will be watching a pantomime on Friday and visiting Christ Church on Thursday afternoon to hear The Christmas Story.
English
The children will be working on developing their comprehension skills by answering questions after reading a text. We will be writing the middle and ending of a Christmas story and continuing to work on split vowel digraphs during our phonics lessons.
Maths
We will explore equivalent values and make equal values using symbols to record. This will be followed by showing equal values on tens frames. We will continue with counting in twos, tens and fives and learning our number bonds to five, ten and twenty.
I wish you all a happy and restful weekend.
Ms Davis
