Year 1 have had a fantastic beginning to the new school year and I would like to say a huge thank you to all of them for making me feel so welcome! It has been wonderful to see the children enthusiastic and excited about their new class and learning topics.
In English, we have been practising how to form letters correctly as his is one of the most important skills for their writing. This week we have been learning about the features of our new class text and can recall the author and what the blurb tells us. We have made predictions about our new class text, I want my hat back and are very excited to find out what happens. Year 1 have been fantastic at using their Fred fingers and knowledge of punctuation to write super sentences, I am so impressed!
In Maths we have been focussing on place value. The children have been working in partners to represent numbers on tens frames with counters to work out their answers practically.
We have been introduced to Science and have started learning about our body parts and what they help us to do. We particularly enjoyed going outside to draw around our partner and label them!
We have also started in our new phonics groups. Your child will have received two reading books today to practise at home.
