20th May 2022 

In Maths this week we having started to learn about fractions and the children have been busy finding a half and a quarter of an object as well as a group of objects.  In English we have finished our core text, 'Traction Man is here' and the children have been retelling their favourite parts of the story through drama and role play.  Art has been super exciting this week as the children worked together to complete their magic spell drawing using their individual quiet observational drawings to make a loud collaborative piece of art.  There are some amazing pictures of the children working together on the Year 1 Art page which can be found under Curriculum. Mrs Dutton does apologise for any dirt on the children's clothes that day, but they had an amazing time creating such a fabulous piece which is on display in our classroom!

Please note that PE will be on a Monday and a Tuesday afternoon for Summer 1.

Please see below a new homework grid for Summer 1.  The tasks chosen link to our classroom learning this half term.  The homework grid is optional, however please continue to read with your child and practise the spellings sent home every Friday.  Please also continue to practise phonics sounds with your child ahead of the phonics screening which will take place in June. 

If you need a list of sounds and tricky words, please let me know.

Please contact me via the school office or using our class email address should you have any questions.
