Date: 23rd Sep 2021 @ 10:12am

Welcome to your first Year 1 blog!

All the children have settled in so brilliantly. Well done, everyone! Thank you for sending  the Summer Scrap Book in with your child- we will look at every single one of them.

This week we have been listening to the story of Dogger by Shirley Hughes.We have been writing sentences about the story and making posters to find Dogger. In our Phonics we have been learning the long oo sound as in roof and the short oo sound as in look. We have been reading as well.

In Maths we have been doing lots of counting up to 20, forwards,backwards and from different starting numbers. We have also been investigating ways to make 10 and writing our numbers correctly. We have been ordering numbers to 20.

This week we celebrated the International Day of Peace in our collective worships. We talked about how we can be peaceful. In R.E. we have been learning about how we care for our families and how God cares for us. In P.S.H.E. we have been discussing how we belong to different groups.

We looked at photographs of buildings in Longton and talked about all the different things in our locality. We are going to have a good look around when we are outside.

We have really enjoyed our P.E. outside practising our fundamental skills, hopping,skipping and jumping. We had a great time learning French with Mrs Quilliam and Music with Mrs Winter.

We had a lovely Golden Assembly with Mrs Wood where we celebrated another super week of learning. We will take a photo the children who receive an award and post it in the Year 1 gallery each week.

Thank you for attending the Meet the Teacher meeting. If you couldn't attend, the presentation is attached to the Year 1 blog.

Please read for at least 10 minutes every night and sign the diary. We will change the books on a Friday.

Practise counting forwards and backwards from 0 to 20. Start at different numbers, count fast and slow, make it into a game.
