Year 1

Welcome to Year 1

Welcome to Year 1! I am Miss Edwards and I will be teaching Year 1. Miss Davies will also be joining us as our teaching assistant! We are very excited for this year as our theme is Turrets and Tiaras!

The class page will tell you what the children will be learning about during the week and will show important information. 

Please note: PE is on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Maths homework

Maths homework is handed in this week.

Spellings will be stuck in their homework books. 

Reading homework

The reading challenge. The children need to read at least four times a week for ten weeks to receive their reading certificate at the end of the term. Please record when you read in the Partnership book as then we know when to change the book.

Please ensure that your child is being questioned on what they are reading to encourage their comprehension skills. Children are also to encouraged to use expression while reading. If you would like to read books from home as extra reading with your child please do so!

This week Year 1 will continue learning about addition and subtraction. They will be working with numbers from 0-20. Year 1 have been working hard in maths and I look forward to seeing their excellent work this week.

English

This dragon has flown to Windsor Castle! Year 1 have received a letter from the knights at the castle telling them all about the dragon. Year 1 will be writing about what the dragon has been up to while at the castle. We are focusing on capital letters, full stops and finger spaces this week. 

Stars of the Week

Well done Joshua and Ruby! 

Dojo Points Winner.

Well done Lillie!

Spelling 

When practising spellings Year 1 are encouraged to sound out the word. Can they spot the special friends? (two letters that make one sound, such as ay). Each week the spellings are linked to the sounds they have learnt.

Fun activities to learn spellings:

• Use shaving foam 
• Use sand
• Air writing - spell the word in the air and someone says what word they are spelling.
• Making the words out of playdough, blue tac or pasta.
