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

Good afternoon,

What a fantastic first week back we have had. The children have started looking at our new topic of 'Where does our food come from' with a fruit tasting session on Wednesday to support with our writing. They created an incredible bank of adjectives to descrbie their appearance, their taste and texture.

Next week is a Learn Through Week, so our learning will be centred around our theme of influential people.

Reminders next week - 

Thursday - World Book Day - more information has been sent out.

Friday - Teacher Training Day

In Maths, Year 1 will be continuing with addition and subtraction.

In Year 2 ,we will be continuing to look at strategies for adding and subtracting two 2 digit numbers. 

In Writing, we will be looking at how to write instructions and looking at the text Oliver's vegetables. 

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:

This half term, our PE days will be Monday and Friday. 

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.

Every Friday, Year 1 will now be bringing home a phonics home learning sheet looking at sounds that we have covered throughout the week. Any extra practise would really support your children's reading journey. 

For Year 2, we would like them to practise their additive facts to support addition and subtration, they will be coming home with a sheet to help with this today.  

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. Across Key Stage 1 we are working really hard to improve spelling and handwriting so any support with this at home would be greatly appreciated. 

Any questions, please come and ask us.

Thank you for your continued support, 

Team KS1
