Hello,

We have had another wonderful week in Year 1. We are looking forward to sharing some of our learning with you in the assembly next Friday.

Spellings this week: Week 4 spellings – the digraphs ‘ur’ and ‘er’. Our words are: girl, bird, shirt, first, third, turn, hurt, church, burst, burn. Please complete week 4 worksheet of your spelling in the homework pack and login to doodlespell to play some games with those words. The new words will be available from Monday.

Reading: Please ensure your child has their books to return in their hand on Monday morning so that we can quickly receive those. Next week, as usual, we will swap books on Monday and Thursday. Thank you for reminding your child to carry their water bottles to help us avoid spillages and water damage.

Please note the change for our yellow book readers – we will now only send one book home on a Monday and one on a Thursday (see email sent this week with more detail).

Maths: Please login to doodle and complete your daily quick fire questions plus any assignments you have outstanding. Lots more children have been accessing it this week – thank you for supporting us.

Topic homework: You will have your new topic homework menu sheet in the printed pack that came home at the end of term but you can also find an online version on our ‘key information’ blog. Please choose one activity to do with your child for this half term and bring it in for the showcase lesson in February.

See you on Monday,

Mrs Jones
