Year 1 Friday Blog 14th June 2024

Dear parents,

Welcome to the Year 1 Friday blog!

Each week you will find out what we have been doing in class, weekly spellings and lots more.

Thank you for your support with our new weekly blogs. It has been fantastic to hear the children talking about them in school this week. Every Friday the blog will be shared with the class to recap our learning and make them aware of their homework. Moving to online homework has allowed us to become a more eco friendly school. Throughout the week we will be learning about the spelling rule in preparation for the quiz on Thursday.

Homework

Reading - Reading is one of the most important skills for children to master as it unlocks their imagination and allows them to access the rest of the curriculum. Please read with your child every night. Question prompts are provided within reading books, coloured book marks and reading records. Asking questions improves key reading skills, such as retrieval and inference.

Phonics - Please spend time reading the real and nonsense words in the 'files to download' section.

Spellings - Please find this weeks spellings below. In the 'files to download' section you will find an overview of spellings for this half term and spelling strategies to use at home.

Homework folders do not need to be returned to school.

Our learning this week in Year 1

English

In English this week we have continued our learning on pirates. We made predictions and then wrote a description about what we could see through our telescope. The book we are reading is 'The Pirates are Coming'

Watch the story below.

The Pirates are coming!

Maths

In Maths we have been using our measuring skills. We measured length in cubes, before moving on to cm.

To help with counting backwards, encourage the children to join in with the video below.

In Science we have been learning about how plants grow and in RE we discussed the story 'Joseph the Dreamer'
