 Friday 23rd February

This week we have started our history learning about the Titanic.  We have approached this from the point of view of a passenger - Delia McDermott who travelled on the Titanic as a third class passenger.  Delia bought a new hat for her journey and we discussed the differences between the clothes worn by different groups of people, rich and poor in 1912.  We discussed how the lives of rich and poor people were very different in 1912.  We introduced the Titanic and discussed how it set sail.  


Science
This week we continued our science longitudinal investigation - finding out about the animals that live in our pond at the end of winter and the beginning of spring.  We discussed how this had changed from our findings in the autumn.

World Book Day - Thursday 7th March

We have been invited by Waterstones in Whiteley to visit them to spend our world book day voucher and listen to a story.  We will be walking to Whiteley Village so when thinking about a costume, please could you take this into consideration! Your child will need to wear a coat and comfortable shoes.

Many thanks!

Smart watches

Please be aware that smart watches are not permitted to be worn by pupils in school. 

Phonics

In Phonics this week we  have continued to revisit our Phase 5 graphemes to develop our confidence in reading and writing words with these sounds.  This week we have revisited alternative graphemes for the "oo" digraph. These include u, oul, u_e, ew and ue. 
You might like to play the games on Bug club which practise these sounds.


Maths 
We have continued our work counting in 2s and 10s and solving problems using this knowledge e.g. If there are 10 bikes, how many wheels will they have?
P.E.
Please could you ensure your child has shorts for indoor P.E. and tracksuit bottoms or leggings for outdoor P.E. kept in school.
Many thanks.

  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

   Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely summer.  We are so pleased with how well the children have settled back into school. This week we have found out about the 'UN convention on the rights of the child' (UNCRC) Here is a link for parents about the UNCRC.                                                UNCRC The children have found out about their right to families, food, home, water and play. 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. If you have any questions please feel free to email us on: year1@whiteleyapps.com P.E will be on a Tuesday and Friday not a Wednesday.
