Friday 6th October

This week we have focused on understanding that animals need food to survive.

We have also considered how they move to survive.


You might like to observe how the animals in you garden or local park move.

We have investigated what snails eat. We have found out that they don't eat meat and do eat plants and vegetables.

Phonics

This week we have learnt the alternative graphemes for ai:

ay (play) ay action

a_e (make) a_e action

eigh (eight) eigh action

ey (grey) ey action

ei (reins) ei action

We have allocated ay games for you to play on Bug Club and books to read at home.

Please remember these games can count towards your child's reading challenge, so can be recorded on their orange card.

Maths 

This week we have explored money. The children have recognised coins and matched them to amounts.

Toy shop game

We have also compared length and talked about the longest, shortest, tall, tallest.

Who is the tallest in your family? Who has the longest sock or scarf? Can you make the longest playdough snake?

Please let us know if you are able to come into school to support one to one reading.

If you have any small boxes we would love to use them for 'Junk modeling'.

Our small car supply is also running short if you have any spare you no longer need.

  Friday 22nd September This week we have been visited by Liberty's Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre.  We had an amazing class talk with the birds' keeper, then experienced a flying session in the hall.  The children were very excited to see such incredible birds up close.  This visit was to develop the children's science learning in relation to animals and how animals move, feed and sense their environment to survive. Reading Challenge This week we are sending home the first part of the Year One reading challenge.  The aim of this challenge is to increase your child's confidence and fluency through regular daily reading at home.  Please record only one book for each day on the card - although of course if your child would like to read more that would be great! At the end of each part of the challenge your child will receive a special pin badge to wear on their school jumper. Please can you keep your child's reading log in their book bag so that their teacher can comp

Over the next few weeks the children will develop their own 'class charter' based on the UNCRC and their rights. Please see parent mail for key information. Next week we will send home reading logs and will start to allocate a book each week on Bug Club.
