Year 1 Blog

A lot of Y1 have asked to be involved in the talent show and I can see they have all been practising hard! Tomorrow we will vote using our British Values - democracy - and choose just 3 acts to go through to the finals on Friday. We have discussed how this is the only fair way to do this and all the children will get a vote. The top 3 acts with the most votes will go through to the final at the end of the week. We have linked this to our recent polling days, too, and explained that this is what grown ups do.

I hope nobody is too disappointed tomorrow and this really is the last chance to practise. See you tomorrow!

Thursday 13th June Trip

Hello all,

We have had a really busy few weeks practising reading all of the sounds we have learnt (basically since starting school!).  We have been playing games, sorting alien and real words, reading lists and doing some small group work. Just to keep things ticking over during the holidays, I am sending some practise words and activities for you to go through with your child. As well as helping your child to prepare for the screening, this is enabling them to revise a whole lot of things they've learnt to aid them to be a better reader. We really appreciate your support and as always, pop in if you have any questions.

The National Phonics Screening for Y1 children will be happening during the week beginning 10th June. 

Mrs Jones.

Hi,

This week our spellings will all be air and are words.

I have attached a word search and this will come home tomorrow with your child. However, if you'd like a different activity then you could use these words within a sentence. Remember to encourage children to slide from the line, start their sentence with a capital and use correct punctuation - these are our Y1 non-negotiables!

I have swapped around this week and next week's words because it fits in with other areas of learning. Next week's words will be au and aw words. Another word search is included (because I have had really positive feedback on how much children have been enjoying these), however an alternative activity for next week is to write the words using rainbow writing, bubble writing, capital letters etc or in whatever creative way your child might like to present them. This word search will come home with you next week, as usual.
