Class 1 round up

Class 1 have been very busy this last week.

Read Write Inc:

The children have continued to revise all of Set 1 and Set 2 sounds/words  and learn Set 3 sounds/words.  Over the week we have sent home the story words and ditties for you to practise at home.  We have also looked at

are/air  (care and share / That’s not fair)

ow / o-e   (Blow the snow / Phone home)

Set-1-Sounds   

green words 1

set_2_sounds

green words 2

set_3_sounds

green words 3

The children have used their phonics knowledge to write sentences using words with these sounds.  Some children have also made a Wanted poster for one of the characters from their group Story Book  – Black Hat Bob.

Maths

We have concentrated on understanding the parts of numbers to 10 and what a teen number is (tens and ones).  The children have used a variety of resources to help them show and explain their reasoning.

Here is a lovely 10 frame activity to play (the fill option)  https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Interactives/Ten-Frame/

We have enjoyed the story Rumble in the Jungle – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRplFz5SGz0

We have moved like the animals in the story and discussed what our favourites are.  Next week we will research and write about our favourite animal/s.

Understanding the World/RE

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about the celebration of Wesak (Budda’s birthday).   The children have talked about how we treat each other and linked this to our whole school theme of Kindness. To find out more: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/lets-celebrate-wesak

Hope you all have a lovely weekend  🙂

Maths

Class 1 have been using 10 frames to make 2 digit numbers.

Bean plants homework project

Class 1 children were all excited to take home their bean stalks.  Over the last few weeks the children have  carefully monitored the growth and compared whose has grown the tallest / most each day.  They were also very good at making sure they all got watered.

We would like you and your child to keep a record of their bean and how well it continues to grow.  I look forward to seeing updates on Tapestry.

It seems a long time ago since we planted them!

This week the children have continued to revise and use the sounds taught over the year.

Our focus sounds were:

i-e – a nice smile

igh – fly high

Thank you for feeding back on how your child is getting on with reading their ditties and group book words.  We have enjoyed reading some of the sentences children have written at home and shared on Tapestry.

Maths

This week Class 1 have been busy sorting 2d shapes using different criteria.

 

Maths

This week the children have looked at comparing heights.

We linked this in with our focus story – Jack and the Beanstalk and with the beans that the children have planted.

They also looked at how we can measure using non standard units.
