Sprout class love going on wellie walks! This time, we walked to Jubilee woods and drew maps.

As part of our dance workshop we had great fun playing moving games and learning some groovy moves!

Snow day!

In Design and Technology, we have been making model beach huts.  We carefully made frames out of cardboard and clad them using lollypop sticks.  At times it was very challenging but the children persevered and made some great models.

Homework

Reading – Reception and Year 1

Reading in Reception and Year 1 is the most important aspect to home learning. Reading is not just about recognising and ‘reading’ words, it is about understanding what is being read. Reading everyday with your child will help them to develop in all aspects of their learning. When you are sharing a book with your child it is important to ask them questions about the story. For example, can they predict what the story is about from looking at the front cover? Can they say what will happen next or at the end of the story? Can they describe the characters or the story setting? Can they explain why they like/dislike the story? Who is their favourite character and why?

Spellings

Both Year 1 and Year 2 children will receive a new set of spellings each week. The spellings are linked to words they are learning in their phonics. The expectations are that your child will be able to read and write the words given before a new spelling is issued.

Year 1 Homework

Year 1 children will receive an additional piece of homework that is linked to the learning your child is doing in class.

On our Science Day we explored chemical reactions, states of matter and completed a challenge to see who could make the strongest bridge.  There were some amazing efforts and some very strong bridges.  We all had a lot of fun!
