We have had a busy and exciting week of learning in Year One!

This week in maths, we have been focusing on number lines and number tracks. The children really enjoyed creating their own versions in our outdoor areas and applying their previous learning about numbers. We have noticed that some pupils would benefit from practising careful number formation. If you’d like to support this at home, practising numbers through fun activities (such as chalk writing outside or using playdough) would be a great way to help.
In phonics, we have learned the sounds ‘ow’ and ‘er’. The children have been using these sounds in both their reading and writing, and it has been wonderful to see their growing confidence.
Our new book this week is The Lonely Beast. The children have been excited to share their predictions about what the story might be about, and they are looking forward to discovering more together as we continue reading.
In science, we have been consolidating our learning about the human body and exploring different ways we can keep ourselves healthy. The children shared lots of thoughtful ideas and showed great enthusiasm in their discussions.

It has been such a full and fun week of learning! We hope your children will share their favourite parts of the week with you at home!
