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

Good afternoon,

This week, KS1 have really dived into their learning. We have been looking at what a recount is and our next independent write is going to be a recount based on our visit from the Fire Brigade.

Next week will be our first Learn Through Week of the year! Each year we have 3 weeks where whole school learning is focused around a specific theme. The theme for this week is charities. KS1 will have a focus on 'The Wonkey Donkey Sanctuary' in Knottingley and the RSPCA. We will be having a bake sale after school on Friday 24th October to try and raise funds for us to adopt a donkey,

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 now be sent to school on THURSDAYS. 

REMINDERS:

Our PE days are Monday and Thursday.

If your child has signed up for craft club, this takes place after school every Wednesday and Lego club is on a Monday. 

In Maths, Year 1 are focusing on part part whole models with a focus on changing the parts to make the same number. 

In Year 2 , we are focussing on addition and subtraction within 100 using our knowledge of multiples of 10 to support us with this.

In Writing, we are learning about past tense and time adverbials to support with our recounts. 

HOMEWORK:

Your children will bring home their reading books on Friday. 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.

Any questions, please come and ask us.

We hope you have a lovely weekend,

Team KS1
