w/c 2nd October 2023
Welcome to our Year 1 webpage. I will update this every weekend with information about what we will be learning the following week.
Topic and Literacy
The children are enjoying our topic of "Once Upon a Time". This week we will read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk; we will think about the Giant's castle and if it is like Warwick Castle!
We had a fantastic time exploring the castle on Friday. We climbed the turrets to the very top of the castle. We met a Knight, Sir John on his horse. We saw lots of old weapons, watched a falconry show and explored a maze! Watch this space for photos.
Maths
This week we are learning about ordering objects and ordinal numbers.
Science
We continue our topic about materials - we will be testing different materials and discussing their properties.
Phonics/Reading
We hope that you are enjoying the reading books sent home. Please make sure to send back in every Monday. If possible, please can you send reading books into school in a book bag; the children will then know where their books are during the day when we go into reading groups.
We will begin to send home some phonics homework, so that you can practice sounds at home together.
Uniform
In year 1 the children are learning how to change themselves for PE and Forest School. This means that we are sometimes left with items of clothing after the sessions. Please be assured that we always return named uniform to the child or put on their peg in school. We may also collect items into our lost property box (yellow) just inside the door.
As always, please email us or catch us at the door if you have any questions or want to chat.
