Good afternoon everyone,

It was absolutely wonderful to be back with the children this week and to see how much they’ve grown and developed. They really are a credit to you all – so full of energy, kindness and curiosity.

It was also such a joy to see so many of you at Sports Day! What a fantastic afternoon we had, filled with sunshine, smiles and team spirit. Thank you so much for your continued support – it really does mean a lot.

Good afternoon everyone,

We have enjoyed another great week of learning in Year 1 and have been busy as usual!

In English, we have been learning how to write compound sentences using the conjunction ‘and’ to join simple sentences. We have also produced some fantastic pieces of descriptive writing based on the ‘Storm Whale.’ The children have been very independent with their writing and demonstrated that they can incorporate the skills they have already learnt, in their writing – well done! 

In Maths, we have continued to focus on measuring capacity and volume and looking at different ways we can do this. We have also been comparing volume and capacity and using more than, less than or equal to in our learning. Home learning- https://www.edshed.com/en-gb/homework 

In Phonics, we focused on sounds: oo (as in blue) or (chew) and yoo (as in argue) as well as or (as in claw). Tricky words – today, their, people, your, any. Home learning Little Wandle ebooks https://www.collinshub.co.uk/login/ 

In Geography, we have been looking rock pools and sorting which sea creatures would and would not survive in a rock pool. The children have also drawn some fantastic pictures of rock pools.

A reminder that our Library day is a Friday. This is when the children can browse the library and change their library books if they want to.

Have a lovely weekend and we will see you on Monday.
