Year 1 Home Practice 2020

Date: 27th Nov 2020 @ 3:47pm

This week we have loved our new book, Traction Man Is Here by Mini Grey. The children have planned and written their own adventure and had a look at Traction Man’s many costume changes. Well done everybody!

In our PE we have started our Dance topic on Robots. Check out our moves in this week’s gallery. Some super movers! To tie in with our toys and space learning, we have researched Neil Armstrong, looked at Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting and even launched some rockets of our very own. The children have loved their space learning this term.

Reading

Continue to read every night with your children. 10 minutes a night makes a huge difference in reading fluency and comprehension. It is the key to all learning!

Phonics

This week we have looked at the ir, ur and er sounds. Everybody is using their phonics in their reading and writing which is great to see. Keep it up! We have set a new word list on Sumdog. Keep practising your spellings through games and writing them out. It has been lovely seeing all the practise brought in by some children. Well done.

Maths

We have been focussing our learning on Number fluency this term. The children are loving their maths learning, becoming more confident and fluent every week. Keep checking Sumdog for new challenges. These tie in with the skills taught in school and are helping the children remember those key number facts.
