Hello Year One,
We have had a wonderful week. Our trip to the church was great. The staff had created activities around harvests. The children looked at the harvest from the sea, the earth, the grain and from animals.
The children are enjoying the reading sessions. On Thursdays I allocate the books to you so that you can read at home with your child and add a comment in their Reading Record.
The adults who hear the children read write their comments on a Thursday ready for you to read. There were several children without a Reading Record in school, therefore the adult who heard your child read was unable to write comments.
Please ensure that your child has a book bag or a named plastic bag which comes to school every day with their Reading Record and class book inside.
This bag must be placed in the book bag boxes by the door, not in a bag on a peg.
NEXT WEEK
English
The children will be writing a story about losing a toy. We have been working from the book 'Where's My Teddy?' about a little boy who loses his teddy in the woods and several children were keen to explain about toys they had lost so this will be a great writing opportunity.
Maths
We will be counting varied representations of number and matching values to mathematical models and numerals. The children will be learning the vocabulary of 'more' and 'fewer,' 'more and 'less' and 'least.'
RE
The children will draw and write about harvest.
Science
We will be exploring the foods that animals eat and the children will learn the terms herbivore, carnivore and omnivore.
Art
The children will draw self portraits.
I wish you all a happy and restful weekend.
Ms Davis
