Week 4

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Another fun week in Year 1!

In Maths we have been doubling numbers using resources and many can answer doubles mentally. We have been solving problems involving doubles. Also we have been subtracting numbers using number lines, counters and counting back in our heads.

We read the book Plenty of Love to go Around. The children were able to label the different parts to the character Binky and make a list of what cats need. I am impressed at how the children are using their phonic knowledge to spell words and write sentences.

In our school gardens, we found lots of vegetables that we drew and labelled.

In Science we have been identifying our five senses and matching them with the correct body parts.

In Religion we thought about the actions, symbols and words that we see and use at church. Look out for them at church this weekend. Thank you for sending in photos of the children’s baptism, if you have not please could you send them in next week.

In PE, we the children were following instructions by playing different games.

Next week is Healthy Eating Week. Please could you send in a photo of you eating together as a family and being active today.

Week 3

A busy week in Year 1. In Literacy we have been practising letter formation and writing words with the phase 3 sounds. I was pleased with how hard the children worked at learning their spellings. We continued reading the Monkey Puzzle and made a big story map for our display.

In Numeracy we have been ordering numbers and finding one more and one less. The children have been adding using a variety of resources.

 

In Science we have been naming, labelling and describing body parts. We went out in our outdoor area and made colour pallets with different flowers to show the colours of summer.

In Religion we thought of actions and words to welcome people. We had lovely smiles, waves and kind words in our class.

In PE we have continued to practice throwing and catching and related these skills to different games. In groups, the children were very creative making up their own games.

Reading – Please could your child bring their reading book in on their reading days. Listen to your child read and sign their reading record. Your child has two reading books that will be changed once a week on their first reading day of the week. If your child has not completed the book, write a note in their reading record. You can use the stickers in the book to add to your comment. Practise reading the tricky words and the phase 3 sounds.

Week 2

What a busy week! The children have settled well and are following the routines in Year 1.

Thank you to Mark’s dad for making us a wonderful kitchen for our outdoor area.

In PE the children practised their throwing and catching skills.

In RE we looked at our mission prayer and discussed what each part means. The children strive to care and respect each and they shared their talents with the class.

In Maths the children used mathematical vocabulary to describe the position of different objects. We are beginning to learn left and right so please practise at home.

Our Author this month is Julia Donaldson. We read the story Monkey Puzzle. The children made story maps to retell the story and painted wonderful pictures of the animals. If you have any story by Julia Donaldson, please read them to your child.

  

We had great fun outdoors looking at the beautiful flowers and vegetables. The children did an observational drawing of a sunflower and labelled the different parts. We pulled and pulled the huge sunflower out of the soil and measured the height using different children. The sunflowers were two taller children or two and a half smaller children long.

Home Learning

The children received a folder with Year 1 common exception words,  phonics mats for Phase 2, 3 and 5 and their Mathletics password. We assessed the children this week and I have highlighted the sounds your child can read and write. Please practise the sounds your child does not know. The children have their new reading books. At this time of year we are consolidating their learning and building their confidence so they develop a love of reading. In the front of your child’s reading record I have highlighted the tricky words your child can read. Please practise reading the words not highlighted. If your child can read all of the tricky words, please practise spelling them. I have also included spellings for this term. We will test the children each Wednesday.  In Religion we are learning about how the church welcomes new members. If your child was baptised, please could you send a photo of their baptism that we can stick into their book. Write their name on the back of the photo.

Here are some songs to help your child to learn the tricky words.
