Dear Parents,
Happy New Year!
We hope you have all had an enjoyable holiday. The children have had a lovely first week back at school and are excited to learn lots about our new topic Africa in the term ahead.
In Maths, we have been counting forwards and backwards to 50 and learning about how many tens and ones there are in each number. We have also been completing number sequences and finding missing numbers to 50.
In English, we have started reading our class story Lila and the Secret of Rain which is set in a Kenyan village in Africa. We have discussed the different feelings shown by the main character and written about our favourite parts of the story.
In Topic, we have discussed what we know about Africa already and what we would like to find out later on in the topic.
Have a lovely weekend,
The Year 1 Team.
