 Friday 9th February

We hope that you have a lovely half term holiday break next week.
Thank you for your support this half term.

This week we have been working on our Design Technology learning.  We experimented with construction kits, making stable structures with secure frames and overlapping bricks.  We learnt how to make hinges and attach tubes to models.  We designed and made our own stable structure with doors, windows and a roof.
Maths
In Maths this week we have been sorting groups of objects into twos and tens.  We have been working out how many "lots of" two or ten are in each group.  You might like to practise this at home during the holidays.  Could you organise toys or food items into groups of 2 or 10?  How many "lots of 2" do you have?  How many items altogether?
The game below can be set to count in 2s or 10s, forwards and backwards.

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 "or" digraph. These include aw, al and au. 
You might like to play the games on Bug club which practise these sounds.

P.E. Kits
Over half term, please could you check that your child's P.E. kit and trainers still fit them.
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.
