Learning in Year One

Thank you to everyone who came to our class assembly on Friday 28th April. We had lots of fun putting together our video, and we hope you enjoyed it.

Year 1 are working really hard in school at the moment and are developing into fantastic and confident little learners! 

We have had a great time celebrating the King's Coronation last week and have engaged in lots of practical maths activities. 

Our science and geography lessons are helping us take notice of the seasons and weather, and we are keeping an eye on our weather station. The rain gauge has filled up quite a lot over the weekend thanks to the wet weather!

In art this week, we will be looking at different painting techniques (marbling and Brusho) and eventually applying these techniques when painting seasonal landscapes. 

Phonics Screening Check
The Phonics Screening Check (PSC) will be taking place shortly after we get back from May half-term. To help your child prepare for this I have sent home some activities to complete at home. The PSC only assesses accuracy and not speed - so your child does not need to read these words speedily and can follow the 'special friend, Fred talk, read the word' routine. 

If you have any questions about this upcoming test, let me know and I will help where I can. 

 

Phonics books this week
Due to the Year 6 SATs taking place this week, we will not be splitting off into our normal phonics groups. I will send home books which your child has already read. This will give them a chance to practise their fluency and storyteller voices.
