Dear Year One,
We have been busy!
We are beginning to work on our class assembly which will take place on Friday 20th May. The children are excited to share their work with you. Thank you for sending the costumes in, as the sooner we get them the easier it will be nearer the time of the assembly.
This week we have been exploring comparison and difference in our maths lessons. You can continue this at home by showing the children two sets of objects with different values and asking them to find the difference or asking which group has fewer and then expecting them to prove this to you.
For English we have learned the story of the Little Red Hen and the children were able to write accurate recounts of the story.
The children are enjoying finding out about famous queens, especially as it will be Queen Elizabeth 2nd Platinum Jubilee soon. We have lots of fun ideas to help us celebrate!
There was lots of action in the technology room this week as the children made their salads. They chose really varied and interesting vegetables and had lots of ideas for dressings! I hope they were tasty!
NEXT WEEK
Maths
We will continue to explore comparison and difference. we will also work on odd and even numbers so you could talk about this with the children over the weekend.
English/geography/history
Next week Year One will be completing pre and post farm visit activities. These include writing about the animals we see and learning the names of male and female, adult and child.
The children will complete a comprehension task on Queen Elizabeth 1st.
We will be spotting 'igh,' 'ie,' 'y' and 'i-e' in text.
Willows Farm trip
Tuesday 10th May is the day we have been waiting for! Please ensure your child comes to school in non-uniform and with long sleeves and trousers as they may wish to access the big slides.
We have pre and post visit activities to carry out and will learn so much about farms, animals and crops.
We will not be going into the on-site shop as it is extremely expensive and we honestly won't have time. Your child will not need any money on the day of the trip.
Please arrive promptly on Tuesday. We will be leaving Little Heath just after 9am.
Please remember to send a packed lunch and at least two drinks for your child. I would advise against anything chocolate as the weather is so warm at the moment.
I hope you have a peaceful weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather!
Ms Davis
