Year 1 Friday Blog - 15th May
Date: 14th May 2026 @ 6:31pm
Dear parents,
Welcome back to the Year 1 Friday blog!
Each week you will find out what we have been doing in class, our weekly spellings, reminders and lots more!
On Monday, the children were introduced to Mental Health Bingo during our class worship session. Throughout the week, they have been working hard to complete different activities and challenges to achieve a line or even a full house on their bingo boards.
On Thursday, the whole school enjoyed getting active and keeping fit by joining the online Big School Workout with Joe Wicks. The children had lots of fun taking part in the exercises and learning about the importance of looking after both their physical and mental wellbeing.
Reading books will continue to be changed on a Thursday. Please read both books and ask questions about them.
Please write a note in your child's reading record book when a book has been completed and sign the relevant parent signature box. This allows for an easy change as we know if the book has been read.
The children will have the opportunity to change their library books each Thursday. Please spend time sharing these stories at home and asking about their choices.
To help prepare the children for the Phonics Screening Check in June we will be sending home an additional piece of phonics homework each week. Please complete this with your child and return it the following Thursday. I have added a sound mat to the files section for additional support. Some children may receive some additional words over the next few week for extra practice.Thank you for your support with this.
Spellings
Please practise your spellings ready for the quiz on Thursday. These are also available on spelling frame. Apologies for any issues that anyone had accessing Spelling Frame last week.
Pictures to follow on Monday!
Have a lovely extended weekend,
from the Year 1 team
