Year 1 Friday Blog - 8th May
Date: 6th May 2026 @ 4:22pm
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!
Every Friday, the blog will be shared with the class to recap our learning and make them aware of their homework.
Moving to online homework has allowed us to become a more eco friendly school.
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.
In English we have been retelling the story of Bernard. Can you retell our story using the story map?
RE
Next week, we will be visiting Euxton Parish Church to learn about Baptisms. If your child has been baptised or had a special celebration, please could you email a picture to Mrs Hodges ([email protected]) or send in a copy. We will share these during our RE lessons over the half term. Thank you for those that have been received so far.
Have a lovely extended weekend,
from the Year 1 team
