Week Beginning September 24th, 2018

A big thank you to all the parents who attended the ‘Welcome to Year 1 Meeting’. Your support is much appreciated and hope you found the session informative. All the information has been sent home with your child and it is available on our school website.

Reading Books

All children would have brought a reading book appropriate to their reading ability. Please read with your child and write a comment or sign or draw a smiley. Books will only be changed if this is done by the parent/carer. We value your support as it is   essential to enable your child to practise their skills and make progress. 

Books will be changed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Home work

Your child would have brought home a homework book with two sets of work. A poster for science topic, spellings to learn (related to their phonic phase) and words to read and decode (these are non words or alien words to support children’s phonic skills). Mathletics homework has also been set according to our Maths learning in class. The log in cards are at the back of your child’s reading records.  Certificates will be handed out weekly in our Year Group Assembly.

Homework need to be returned on Wednesday 26th September.

Our learning this week…

English

Children will continue to retell the story as well as sequence all the key events of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. They will then be authors and write and edit their stories.

Maths

We will continue to count, recognise and order numbers especially teen numbers. Children will be identifying 1 more / 1 less than  given number. They will also be developing and extending their mathematical vocabulary – more than /less than, bigger than / smaller than / in between. They will use ten frames and number lines to support their learning.
