Dear Parents,
What a busy and exciting first full week the children have had at school. The children have been busy getting used to all of the new routines in their classrooms. They are beginning to show some great independence when organising their books bags, water bottles and all the other things they need to remember every day.
In Maths, we have continued counting forwards and backwards and representing numbers in different ways using practical resources. The children have also been finding one more and one less than a given number.
In Literacy, the children have been getting used to reading in their Guided Reading groups and have continued to enjoy and join in with their favourite stories in class.
In Design and Technology, the children have been learning about the importance of safety when using tools. We all had fun practising using a hammer and nails.
In Topic, the children have been learning about the weather and have created a class weather chart to show different types of weather that they have noticed happening outside of the classroom.
We hope you have a lovely weekend.
Many thanks for your support,
The Year 1 Team
