This week in Year 1 we have been writing so much, even the pencil sharpeners need a half-term! Despite feeling a bit tired and ready for a rest, the children have continued to push themselves this week and have been such Bobby Bees!
I have not set any compulsory home learning for over half term; however I have suggested some learning for the children to do if they would like to. This can be found on the Weekly Home Learning page. That being said, please do listen to your child read and enjoy story time together every day. The children have all got an extra AR book to keep them busy!
What have we been learning this week?
In Maths this week, the children have been learning about doubles. They have been doubling groups of objects as well as numbers and have learned that doubling can be shown as an addition e.g. double 6 = 6 + 6
In English, the children have finished writing their innovated stories. THEY ARE AMAZING! I am so impressed with their children and their determination this week. As a result of their Cooper Crab Focus, they even finished writing their stories a day earlier than expected and got to have a treat lesson in celebration!
As I mentioned last week, one of our favourite ways to worship God is through song! I hope you enjoy the children’s beautiful singing below.
Hip-Hip-Hooray!
