Hello everyone,
We have started this week with some fantastic learning about 'algorithms' in computing. The children wrote down their algorithm in simple steps for someone else to follow.
Tomorrow we will be launching 'Accelerated Reader' with the class. This is an online tool that aims to support and encourage reading for pleasure on a regular basis and then once finished reading a book, taking a quiz to support and aid understanding of the text. This will be possible for you to do at home also through the school website. With this in mind there will be the opportunity for you to come into school from 3.30pm next Wednesday 27th March to come and see how this works and ask any questions. As well as this there be a chance for you to go down to the library to familiarise yourself with checking books in/out - which will also be freely available for you to do before and after school. If you are unable to make this date and would like to find out more information please come and see me.
Lastly, this week there will be a letter coming home explaining how we intend to send home a weekly sheet of real and nonsense words just for reading only. This will be to give children the experience and practice of reading a selection of real and nonsense words. The letter will explain this more.
Year 1 team
