This Week's News
14th February 2020
The children have worked really hard this half term and are really ready for a relaxing break!
This week we have carried out assessments in English, Phonics and Maths and we are very proud of the progress the children have made.
Our English work for the first week back will focus on the short film: The Windmill Farmer. The children will be developing their prediction skills; talking about how the farmer feels at different points in the story; writing a newspaper report and writing imaginatively.
In Maths we will be continuing our work on number and place value. We will be looking at inequality and more and less than numbers and amounts.
As the weather should bet milder during the next half term, please remember to send outdoor PE kit (joggers, sweatshirt & trainers) as well as indoor kit. PE lessons are on Thursdays and Fridays.
Have a fantastic half term break!
Mrs Stockdale & Miss Woodliffe.

It was great to see so many of you here on Wednesday evening for our Phonics Evening. We hope it has explained the Screening Check in more detail and was useful. For those of you that missed it, we have now uploaded the presentation to the Year 1 page on this website. We will be carrying out our next practice test next week and will send your child's score home to you.
Next week we will be carrying out assessments in reading, writing, maths and phonics.
We will also be continuing with our D&T project in which we will be making a windmill.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Woodliffe & Mrs Stockdale.

The children have really enjoyed learning about Paddington for the past two weeks and they have learned lots of facts about Peru and London this week.
Next week in English we will be linking all of our writing to the traditional tale Jack And The Beanstalk. We will be writing imaginatively; writing instructions for planting magic beans and writing letters to the characters from the story. In Maths we will begin working on place value to 50. This week we will be counting to 50 forwards and backwards, representing the numbers and partitioning the numbers into tens and ones.
In Kaizen we will begin looking at out D&T project - making a handheld windmill. We will be designing the windmill and thinking about everything we will need in order to make it work.
Please ensure your child has a water bottle in school every day.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Stockdale & Miss Woodliffe.

In English this week the children have learned lots about Paddington Bear. This work will continue into next week, with a Geography theme. We will be learning a little about Peru, about the countries and capital cities of the UK and about London.
In Maths, the children will be continuing their work on addition and subtraction, looking at fact families and inequality symbols.
In Kaizen, the children will continue to paint Paddington's scarf using hot and cold colours and will begin to design their windmills.
Please can we remind you that all children should have a water bottle and their book bag in school every day. Their PE bag should also be in school and will be returned at the end of the half term. Once the weather becomes milder, PE will be held outside when possible. Please therefore also include outdoor PE kit in their bags: joggers/PE leggings, a sweatshirt or hoodie and trainers.
Many thanks,
Have a fantastic weekend!

The children have worked hard this week and have enjoyed being poets, writing some fantastically descriptive poems about weather. They have also been adding and subtracting to 20 using different pictorial models to help them.
Next week in English the children will be learning all about Paddington Bear. We will be writing a review of the story; answering questions about it; writing a character description and writing instructions to help Paddington. In Maths the children will be subtracting to 20 using tens frames and number lines.
In Kaizen we will begin to paint Paddington's scarf in hot and cold colours.
Please remember to send a water bottle in to school with your child each day.
Have a lovely weekend!

The children have settled back into school very well this week and seem ready for the half-term ahead.
In English we have been focusing on sentence writing. We have re-looked at using capital letters and full stops as well as using adjectives and adverbs to extend sentences to make them more interesting to read. In Maths we have been looking at adding numbers up to 20 by 'counting on' and have used 10s frames and number lines to help us do this.
Next week in English we will be writing weather poetry, including acrostic poems and poems using the senses. In Maths we will continue to look at addition and subtraction up to 20.
Please remember that PE kits must be in school by Monday.
Have a great weekend!
