This week has been a busy week as we began our nativity  .

We are trying hard to remember all the words and songs in the nativity.

 In literacy, we have been describing settings from the book ‘Journey’ and next week we will be writing sentences that will include some of the adjectives.

In numeracy, we have been continuing adding  and exploring subtraction  .   Next week we will be having fun learning and exploring money .  We will be buying items from our class shop and hopefully we will be able to find the correct mount of money and give the customers the correct change.  Fingers crossed!  

For Home Learning this week, please continue to learn the sounds and words of the week that are in the home learning diaries.  We are hoping that you are all enjoying our topic on ‘Journeys’ and that you can bring some great home learning from the learning pyramid to share with your friends on Friday.

Remember Abacus and Bug Club  are also available to continue your reading and numeracy skills.

Have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday!

From the Year 1 Team

We are enjoying our learning in Year 1. 

This week we began our new topic Journeys.  We have been busy writing letters to a selected author about how we can help to write interesting sentences to his book that only has pictures.  We found this very exciting!

In numeracy we have been exploring adding objects and numbers together and showing our number sentence on a number line.  We find this quite tricky but we feel we are growing with confidence every time we use number lines.

We enjoyed our whole school liturgy and meeting Bishop Philip   on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the whole school attended Remembrance Service.     This was a time when we had the opportunity to remember all the soldiers who fought and died for our country.  We continued our learning about Remembrance Day in the afternoon by making our own poppies, writing poems and making models.

Home Learning!  

Please continue to learn phase 3,4 and 5 sounds of letters and sounds.  These can be found in the beginning of your home school diaries.  Can you also read daily with your child?

All children have new books on Bug Club and numeracy work on Abacus.  Encourage your child to explore Bug Club and Abacus as much as possible.  This is a fun way of continuing your child’s learning at home.

On Tuesday is our second parents evening.  If you have not yet made an appointment with us, please come and ask for a time.  We will look forward to seeing you then!

Have a lovely weekend from the Year 1 Team!

Hello!

We hope you all had a lovely and relaxed half term.

This week we have completed our stories  and soon there will be a copy in the library for all the children to read.  Well Done Year 1!

We have enjoyed our learning in numeracy of more and less   and we are becoming more confident in finding the answer to written number problems.

We enjoyed creating firework pictures  using pastels and glitter.

For home learning this week, could you continue reading your school reading books, Bug Club and Abacus.

As always, continue learning Phase 3,4 and 5 sounds of Letters and Sounds.  These can be found at the beginning of the Home School Diary.

With it being Remembrance Day  on Wednesday, you might like to write some sentences about Remembrance Day or draw a picture.

Remember this is about having fun whilst learning, so be as creative as you can.

The year 1 team are looking forward to welcoming our parents to parents evening on Monday.  We hope to see you there so we can share your child’s fabulous learning.

On Tuesday we are very much looking forward to the Bishop  visiting St Peter’s and our Remembrance Mass  on Wednesday.

 Thank you for your continued support!
