Home work for this half term.
Each half term we send home work that the children can complete if they would like to. This supports their learning in class. Please send any work in to school on paper or take photos and email them to our class emails. We love to see what the children have been learning at home as well as at school.
Below is our home work guide for Spring 1 term.
Learning Phonics is a huge part of learning in Foundation and Year 1. Please read daily to help your child learn and revise. The children will be learning new sounds through the year and the more they practise the more confident they will become.
Maths
In Year 1 we have a Maths focus on place value to 10 and addition and subtraction. Regular practise helps the children become fluent and confident which will then support them as they build their Maths knowledge through the school. Please see below for ways to support your child at home.
KSI Music
In music we have listened to a range of different sounds animals make and tried to recreate these using a range of instruments. We were then very brave and performed our call and response games in front of the whole class! We discussed the tempo (speed) and dynamic (volume) of the animals and how we should use the instruments to represent our animals.
Whole School Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church
We attented a whole school Mass service at Sacred Heart Church to start the New Year. We took some of our work from our R.E lessons to display and show to Father David.
Dog’s Trust Safety Talk
In January we had a visit from the Dog’s Trust to tell us all about dog safety. This was a great way to learn about how dogs behave and how best to behave around them to keep safe.
Merry Christmas 2024!
Thank you to all parents and carers who came to watch our KS1 Christmas performance. The children worked so hard to remember thier lines and words and we had a great time retelling the Nativity story. We all had fun practising and learning together.
We hope you had a lovely Christmas break with your families.
