Hello,
Unbelievably, we come to the end of our first half term! We have had such a great time getting to know the children and they have settled well into life in Year 1. We look forward to another great half term which takes us to Christmas with brand new topics and learning.
Next Tuesday, children can bring into school any topic homework they have completed to share with the rest of the class. We won’t have time during the week at any other point so please bring in for then.
Don’t forget that next Friday (16th) is an INSET day so school is closed to children. We will see you back in school in November!
We will do a new half termly ‘key information’ blog and share that with you shortly. We will have the next paper spelling packs ready to hand to you at parents’ evening next week.
Reading
We are still assessing the children this week but we can update you next week about the book colour your child is going to be reading. We swap our books on Mondays and Thursdays – please have books ready to pass over to staff then. Please try to listen to your child read their phonics book 3-5 times a week. We are very grateful to be receiving books back regularly.
Spelling – we cover the National Curriculum spelling each week with different spelling patterns.
This week is week 6 of our spellings. Our words this week all have the sound ‘v’ sound which is spelt ‘ve’ at the end of the word. Our ten words are: van, vet, visit, have, live, give, love, glove, above and nerve. We have set games you can play on doodlespell or you can use the page in your homework pack for some written work.
Maths
Try completing the short doodle assignments and having a go at your 5 a day to stay in the green zone.
