We have had a lovely week reading 'The Highway Rat' by Julia Donaldson. The children have enjoyed joining in with the rhyming words and understanding how the duck tricked the Highway Rat! They have used adjectives to write a setting description.
In maths, we have completed our block on Addition and Subtraction within 10. The children have completed a quick assessement which they will bring home soon. This will give you and idea of the expecations for Year 1 children in maths. On Monday we will start to look at 2D and 3D shapes.
In Geography, the children have started to learn about London as the capital city of England. Please encourage them to spot London on a map. They can look for landmarks too!
Have a look at what we did in Science this week!
This week the children have learnt some tricky phonics called 'split digraphs'. These used to be called 'magic e' words.
a-e in cake
i-e in like
o-e in bone
u-e in cube
Please try to read with your child most evening, just a little and often can make a huge difference to their fluency and confidence.
Have great weekend,
Mrs Dowell & Mrs Savory
