Week beginning 21st July

Year 1, over and out!

Thank you so much for all of your generous gifts and beautiful cards, we are really overwhelmed with your kindness. Although they are never expected, they are very much appreciated and the whole team are so grateful. 

This year flown by and we are so proud of the progress that all of the children have made. Every single one of them has worked so hard and grown so much! They all deserve a much needed rest over the summer. We wish you all a wonderful and sunny break. We can't wait to see you all in September and to hear all about your adventures!

Thank you for your continued support this year,

Mrs Allery, Mrs Stoodley & Mrs Hall

Learning this week:

Maths - 

History -

Phonics - 

Whole Class Reading - 

Home Learning:

My Maths and Numbots log ins are stuck into the front of your child's Reading Record. We would love to see more children logging into Numbots, it is a great resource and a fun way for your children to build fluency in maths. Please speak to your child's teacher if you need any support with this.

Phonics: We have attached some information and further home learning at the bottom of this page focusing on the new graphemes we have been learning this year. 

Additional help with reading/phonics:

If you are wondering how you can provide general support for your child at home, our advice is to hear them read as often as possible. Please do not worry if your child brings home the same book from time to time- this is to gain confidence and fluency before moving onto different sounds in other books.

We also have an excellent link to some high quality texts that you may want to consider when choosing children’s books to read or buy!

Additional Maths:

By the end of Year 1, children are expected to:

• count forwards and backwards in ones to 100
• be able to count in 2s, 5s and 10s
• find one more and one less than a given number up to 100
• recognise the value of all coins
• know number bonds (numbers that add together) to total 10 and 20.

These are excellent skills to be practising at home, although we stress that they will be covered over the course of the school year.

Messages:

It is really important to put children’s names in all their clothes, on packed lunch boxes, water bottles, coats etc- otherwise they do not go home with the correct child. We already have some unclaimed and unnamed items from this week. If you could all check that all items are named, we would really appreciate it. 

Please could water bottles be placed into a plastic bag in their school bag to protect school reading books. All water bottles must only contain water and NOT squash please. 

Please note, our fruit at school is delivered on a Monday, but sometimes later in the day. Please could you provide your child with a snack on a Monday to avoid them getting hungry if our fruit has not been delivered.
