Friday 6th December

 Friday 6th December



This week, we have continued to read the story 'The foggy foggy forest'.  We have been writing a sentence to add to the story using rhyming words.

Phonics
This week in phonics we have been revisited the sounds b, d, e, f and the digraph ck.
We have been reading and spelling words containing these phonemes e.g. bed, fun, rock etc.

Bug Club
Please see your child's reading log to see which book has been allocated this week.  We ask that you read the book twice more at home to support our 3 read approach.
Thank you to those parents who are logging onto bug club and reading with their child.  It really does boost their confidence if they have shared the selected book at home.
This week's bug club book to read at home is 'Is it a rock?'


Maths
This week in Maths, we have been thinking about the purpose of counting i.e. to find out how many objects there are? 
The children have revisited 1-1 correspondence and remembering the stopping number.
We also explored counting orally to larger numbers including the 'teen' numbers.
You may ask your child to help count objects at home e.g. can you count 4 forks for dinner?





We are looking forward to seeing you next week at our nativities. Here is a reminder of the days and times. 

Monday 9th December 2pm  - Foxes class
Wednesday 11th December 2pm - Squirrels class
Thursday 12th December 2pm - Owls class

The nativity will take place in the hall. Please could we ask you to queue outside the hall - where you wait in the mornings by the gate.

Please could we ask that there are only 2 adults attending  per child. Younger siblings are permitted to come but we ask that if they are unsettled you take them out of the hall until they are settled. 

You are welcome to take photos or videos for personal use. Please do not share these on social media.

You will be able to take your child home after the nativity has finished. Older siblings will not be able to be collected early. 

Thankyou for your support.

Christmas Cards
In Year One we encourage the children to make one Christmas card for the class rather than give out lots of individual cards.
This means that we can really value your child's card and message and share it with the class and it is more sustainable for our environment too.
Thank you!

 Friday 18th October This week, we have been learning the nursery rhyme 'Hickory, dickory dock'.  We have looked at a variety of clocks and noticed that all the numbers go in order.  We have also spent time talking about the timings of our school day e.g. we start our day at 9 o'clock, we eat lunch at 12 o'clock. Phonics This week we have begun Phase 2 and have introduced the letters s, a, t , p.  We have learnt the names of the letters, the sounds they make and the accompanying action. You may like to ask your child to show you these actions. We have identified words that contain these letters e.g. sun begins with 's', tip has 'p' at the end of the word. Bug Club Please check your child's reading log to see which sounds we have learnt this week. Maths This week in maths, we have been comparing quantities.  We have modelled the language 'more than' and 'fewer than' to describe how may objects are in a set. We have used a variety of ob...

Friday 27th September This week we have been singing the nursery rhyme 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. We are encouraging the children to join in with actions. We have been working on the children's use of scissors.  Lots of children have found this very challenging.  Please see the correct way to hold scissors below. Right handed scissor hold Left handed scissor hold You might like to give your child opportunities to use scissors at home.  Perhaps they could help you by snipping the tops of green beans when you are cooking.  They could practise snipping the tops of paper tubes to make models. At school we use scissors like the ones below.  If you don't have any scissors please let us know. Click here to find a link to the scissors that we use at school. Maths In Maths this week the children have been encouraged to count a small amount of objects using one to one correspondence. The counting puppet helped us learn to count amounts accurately recognising that the ...

 Friday 13th September Welcome to our first blog post of this new school year! We are enjoying getting to know your children and we are pleased with how they are settling into their classes. Pictured below is our outdoor woodland area situated behind the Year R classrooms. Your child will be spending a day a week in our woodland area. We would just like to recap what your child needs to bring to school. They should bring a named, non spillable water bottle to school each day (filled with water please). On Sunny days you might like to send a named sun hat with your child.  Please apply sun cream at home in the morning and do not send it to school. Please can you put a change of clothes in your child's book bag as they may well get wet in the water tray or have an accident.  A change of clothes may include plain leggings or jogging bottoms, pants, socks and a plain t-shirt. P.E. Kit We keep your child's P.E. kit in the classroom for the whole half term.  The P.E. bag...
