Week beginning 11th September 2017

Welcome to Year 1 !

All your children have settled in and are happy in school. We look forward to an exciting Half –Term.

Our Topic for this Half – Term is ‘Amazing Me’ and it is a science focus where children will be learning about their bodies, senses and how to stay healthy.

Reading Books will be changed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Have a look at these fun websites to learn a few songs about your body:

English

Our focus book is Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We will be reading it and retelling the story in the correct sequence.

Phonics

Please continue to practise sound recognition with your child. Encourage them to apply their phonic knowledge every time you read or write with them.

Handwriting

We will be learning to form the numbers correctly and begin to learn the cursive script starting with letter c.

Maths

We are learning about number and place value. We will be counting forwards and back up to 20 and beyond as well as learning to count accurately and write numbers correctly.
