Year 1

Term 1 summary:

We have had a fantastic start to the year. Children are really settled and learning well. This term we have been reviewing our knowledge of the place value of numbers in maths.

In our English lessons, we have been learning about what a traditional tale is and we have been able to retell some familiar traditional tales.

In science, we have been learning about materials and we have been testing to see which materials are waterproof or not.

In our DT lessons, we had a letter from Mummy Pig asking us to build a new house for her pigs. We found the best material to use and worked together to build a house.

Homework

Children will be coming home with a blue book, which will have an English and maths task inside. It will be sent out on a Friday and please return it by the following Wednesday. To begin with, we are sending home some words that children need to practise to read and then have a go at writing. For maths, children are practising their number formation. Over the year, this will increase to be in line with the rest of the school. Please continue to read daily as practicing their reading will support your child in becoming a confident, fluent reader.  Spellings will be sent out for a weekly spelling test in term 3.
