23.11.14- Picture maps and some brilliant spelling practice!


This week we have been carrying on our work looking at maps. We split in to two teams and walked around the houses closest to the school to try and make a map using pictures. Year 1 had to think about which picture clues would be the best to use and why! Each half of the class took 10-15 pictures which we will assemble as a type of map for the other class to go and find. We will evaluate each others maps after and talk about 'What Worked Well' and 'Even Better If'.
 
We are always encouraging the children to sit correctly a the table and show their best handwriting. Every Friday we practice our handwriting, looking at the different letter families. During this time we also do our spelling practice. It is so fantastic to see how enthusiastic Year 1 are about their spellings. If you are curious about what mark your child gets in their spellings on a Friday please do come and see me. Also some children may come home with extra sheets on a Friday with some sounds on. These sheets are the sounds that your child might be struggling with still. If you have the time and want to work through the sheet with your child then that would be fantastic, it isn't however a set Home Learning.
