Year One News
We have enjoyed all the tricks the elves have been playing in Year 1! They are back for more fun next week!
Last Week:
In maths, we completed our topic on shapes. We made patterns with 2-D and 3-D shapes. We consolidated our understanding of number bonds to ten through addition and subtraction activities, including missing number sums.
In phonics we revised the spelling ‘oo’ as in ‘book’ and ‘moon’. We wrote sentences using these spellings.
In English we shared our treasure chest stories. We will also wrote draft letters to Santa/ Father Christmas.
In P.E we enjoyed yoga.
In music, we continued to practise our songs for our Christmas concert.
We started our Christmas craft activities in art.
We really enjoyed watching the dress rehearsals of the Reception and Year Two nativities as well as a Christmas piano concert.
Next Week:
We have an exciting week, with our Christmas concert, our Christmas party and carols at St John’s Church.
In maths, we will consolidate our learning from the last two terms. We will reinforce our number bond knowledge to ten through a range of activities and we will describe the properties of 2-D and 3-D shapes.
In phonics we will revise all the letter sounds we have learnt since September. We will have a special focus on the split sounds: a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e and u-e and we will practise identifying them and correctly reading them in real and alien words. We will write sentences on our whiteboards using these sounds.
In English we will write our letters to Santa/ Father Christmas from our draft copies.
In P.E we will practise our ball skills, using our foot work.
In music, we will continue to practise our songs and will enjoy performing them at our Christmas concert.
We will continue our Christmas art and craft activities.

Wednesday 17th December: 2:30pm our Year 1 Christmas concert in the school hall, followed by mince pies and reading our Christmas letters in the classroom.
