Family discussion questions:
- What facts did you learn at Jodrell Bank?
- Can you order the members of your family by height- shortest to tallest?
- What kind things could you do at school and at home? How should you react to unkind acts?
Looking forward:
Next week we will be consolidating our learning through quizzes.
In Maths we will begin our weight and volume unit in Maths.
In Art and Design and Technology we will continue painting and constructing our recycled bird houses.
In Science we will continue writing fact file about the features of birds.
Homework in Year 1
- Spelling and handwriting/ phonics homework is sent home each Friday and is due back in the following Friday. Handwriting and /or phonics and the spellings are based on what we have looked at in school including High Frequency Words (HFW) or Common Exception Words (CEW) from the Year 1 spelling list. I will send 3 or 5 spellings home; this amount can be changed weekly dependent on how well they are retained by the children and will be tested informally on a Friday morning. This really helps to reinforce the sounds we have been working on in class and enables the children to use the sounds / words in their writing. Homework due Friday 1.4.22
- Please continue to read every night. If this could be recorded in reading diaries so I can track progress for our 14 day Reading Challenge. Reading Challenge’s will be awarded on Friday’s after checking Reading Diaries on Thursday after school. If you have any questions please ask.
