Dear parents,

Welcome to the Year 1 Friday blog!

Please see the class page for the curriculum overview and the updated spelling lists.

Next week we will be celebrating Science Week and World Book Day! We have week full of exciting activities and our trip to Imagine That on Thursday. 

English

As a class this week we have been writing an innovated version of The Hundred Decker Bus. Next week the children will be writing their own story. 

Maths

Maths this week has been all about numbers! We have been ordering numbers and representing numbers using base 10. We then learnt how to add and subtract 10.

History

After learning about the Wright Brothers, we moved on to Amelia Earhart. The first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

 

 

Reading

Please read every night with your child. This will help them with their learning throughout the curriculum

Spellings

To help practise their weekly spellings, the children now have access to spelling frame. This is an online platform used throughout school with interactive games and spellings tests for the children to use. I am able to see how the children are performing throughout the week and there is a leader board to keep track of their points. Please click on the image below for a shortcut to Spelling Frame.

We will continue to quiz the children each Thursday.

Our focus this half term is tricky words. Please see our class page for the half termly overview and additional sentences. 

 

SHOW AND TELL

Show and Tell will continue on a Friday. If your child is bringing something to share, please practise what they are wanting to say at home. This will help build their confidence and oracy skills when speaking in front of others.
