Friday 22nd March

This week we had a wonderful trip to the Sea City Museum.  We learnt lots more facts and information about the Titanic and her crew.  Did you know that Titanic was taller than the clock tower in the photo!

We were really proud of the way that the children participated sensibly on the trip.

The children wrote some fabulous recounts of their trips on their return to school.

Spring performances

The children are very excited about their performances next week.  We hope that you can join us.

The dates are as follows;
1H - 25th March
1J - 26th March
1R - 28th March
We would love you to join us at our performances at 2pm.
Phonics 
This week in Phonics we have revisited alternative pronunciations of "oo" these are "ew", "ue" and "u_e".   These are sounds that lots of children in Year one have found tricky in our recent phonics assessments.  It would be great if you could practise these sounds using the games on Bug club and by reading this week's allocated book.  

Maths
This week in Maths we have been revisiting our number bonds for numbers up to ten using problem solving contexts e.g. If I have ten sweets and 2 are in my hand, how many are in the bag.  We also discussed doubles in this context.

  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.
