Y1 -A busy and exciting week ahead!

We are finishing off our Castle topic work this week. The children will be writing more instructions, this time they will be making bread for you to taste on Wednesday. As well as writing instructions the children will be learning about using adjectives in their writing in the form of potions.

It is fantastic to see the children bringing in their home learning but we would love more writing! As a class we focus on cursive writing that is phonetically spelt, has finger spaces, capital letters and full stops. Writing at home with your child and sharing a love of writing will help them to understand how important it is to be able to do. So please do show your child how you use your literacy skills in your job and highlight this when they see their favourite characters. For example we all know that Ryder needs to be able to read in Paw Patrol and that it's vital for racing car drivers to be able to read and write! Home learning could be about the children's favourite story, their special toys or even a sentence or two about a funny picture they have found.

On Wednesday we will be sharing the food we make and this time will  also give you a chance to look at your children's work and for them to tell you everything they have learnt.

In maths this week we will be doing subtraction using number lines and word problems.

We look forward to welcoming Mrs Entwistle this week on Thursday and Friday.
