Dear parents,

Welcome to the Year 1 Friday blog!

Please see the class page for the curriculum overview and the updated spelling lists.

PHONICS CHALLENGE

Courageous Advocacy: Water Walk
This year, our school council have been looking at ways we can save water as a school as well as 
helping charities such as Water Aid to deliver clean water to other countries. As part of this theme, 
the school council have organised a water walk on Wednesday 21st May. This will involve all 
children walking around our daily mile track whilst carrying containers of water. There has been a 
sponsorship form sent home with your child to raise money for Water Aid.

 

 

Science

In Science we have been learning about the structure of the tree.  

Can you label the tree?

 

 

Reading

Please read every night with your child. This will help them with their learning throughout the curriculum

Spellings

To help practise their weekly spellings, the children now have access to spelling frame. This is an online platform used throughout school with interactive games and spellings tests for the children to use. I am able to see how the children are performing throughout the week and there is a leader board to keep track of their points. Please click on the image below for a shortcut to Spelling Frame.

We will continue to quiz the children each Thursday.

Our focus this half term is tricky words. Please see our class page for the half termly overview and additional sentences. 

 

SHOW AND TELL

Show and Tell will continue on a Friday. If your child is bringing something to share, please practise what they are wanting to say at home. This will help build their confidence and oracy skills when speaking in front of others.
