In English, the children have been incredibly enthusiastic about creating warning posters for other pirates about the sea monster from The Pirate Cruncher text. They’re very excited for our dress-up day on Thursday 26th June – please refer to the previous blog post for more details.

Phonics:
Our focus sounds this week were: sh, ti, ssi, si, ci (e.g., potion, mission, mansion, delicious).
There are no new tricky words this week – instead, we’ll revisit previously learned tricky words, focusing on reading and spelling them confidently.

Maths:
We’ve been learning about finding quarters of an amount. This was a tricky concept, but the children worked really hard and made great progress. I’ve set some homework to help consolidate this learning.

Art and History:
We are continuing our topic on the Great Fire of London, discussing the outcomes of the fire and how things changed as a result. In Art, we’ve been using watercolour paints to create our own fiery scenes.

Please continue reading regularly at home to help build your child’s confidence and fluency.

Have a lovely weekend!
The Year 1 Team
