Dear parents,

This week, we have enjoyed learning about the Queen’s Jubilee and celebrating in our class parties. Also, we have been learning about ordering and patterns of numbers up to 20.

We have given the children two sheets of phonics words for them to practice over the half term. Please encourage them to Fred (sound out) and say each word aloud.

Have a lovely half term and we look forward to hearing all about your half term! 🙂

Dear parents,

This week, year 1 focused on counting on from 10 to 20. The children used numicon and other manipulatives to help with their learning.  Along with, watching a puppet show and researching what materials are used to make a puppet. We discussed the materials as a class and the children then drew a chosen puppet and labelled what materials they think were used to make it. In addition, we began to practice making hand puppets using paper and even managed to do a short puppet show! which the children loved and we cannot wait to create our final ones to do a puppet performance. 🙂
