Team aire, wharfe & ouse (Year 1 & year 2)

Good afternoon,

The children have had a great week this week, including a fantastic afternoon pretending to be a child from the 1960s. We enjoyed playing board games, outdoor games like hopscotch and skipping and then learning some dance moves. I'm sure the children would love to show you their moves. 

In Maths, Year 1 will be continuing with addition and subtraction, whilst also showing their understanding of number. Next week Year 1 will also be completing some challenge papers in reading and writing to inform future planning and areas that we need to work on. They will complete these in small groups of 6 with their class teacher. 

In Year 2 , we are going back to recap their learning of addition and subtraction strategies using efficient methods. 

In Writing, the children are going to be preparing to create some cross curricular writing to show their learning about the 1960s by planning their own non chronological report. 

Changing books:

To support with reading in school we are changing the day we are sending new books home. Please can book bags and reading records be sent to school on THURSDAYS. 

REMINDERS:

For Spring 1, our PE days will be Monday and Thursdays. 

HOMEWORK:

Your children will bring home their reading books on Thursday. We ask that you read with your child 3x a week and write in their reading records each time you read.

The children who have read 3x, will be giving a raffle ticket to be in with a chance to win a prize.

We know reading is essential for your child/ren and we thank your support with this.

Below is a list of KS1 common exceptions words. These are a list of words that the children need to be able to read and write - although this isn't homework as such, it may be useful to practice these at home. 

Any questions, please come and ask us.

Thank you,

Team KS1
