YR1 17.5.2017 This Weeks Learning





Firstly, thank you for to all those parents who came to the informal parent information session Monday morning. Those that couldn’t make it should have received a personalised note from me relating to phonics as well as information related to the phonics screening in their child’s book bag. Please do not hesitate to discuss phonics with me over the coming weeks. 
Also here is the link I spoke about: http://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/Phase5Menu.htm

This week in Literacy we are writing poetry and concentrating particularly on alliteration. Please encourage your child to explore poetry at home and remember they can always bring some in to share with the rest of the class. I sent home spellings on Monday, so please keep practising those at home. Group 1 received alien words this week, not to learn to spell, but to encourage them to practise for phonics screening – especially to segment and blend words.


In Maths this week, we are recapping time and concentrating on counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We will be doing lots of active activities to consolidate this learning. For example, to encourage counting in 2s your child will be pairing up socks and to count in 5s and 10s your child with be printing their hand print and counting together as a group. 

On Monday we had a wonderful Forest School session (even with a little rain)! Some of the children made clay sculptures, please go and have a look at them, they are located at the back of the classroom by the Forest School display.


Yesterday we received a visit from Super Sports a company who promotes fitness and sport in schools. This week your child will receive a sponsor form related to completing a series of exercises on Thursday 25th May. The whole school will also be visited by Grant Fielder a world champion mountain biker! All the children will have a photograph taken with him and if they bring in a special book they can get his autograph as well!
