Review of the week and home learning
Year 1 Weekly Round Up Friday 26th April
This week we have been looking at a very familiar story - The Three Little Pigs. We asked the children to try to write the story from cold (with no input from us), this gave varying results and also chance to practice lots of skills to help them improve their writing. For example some children worked on getting the words they want to write into a clear sentence, whilst others practised editing their work for spellings. We have also worked on verbs this week.
In maths we have continued with our topic of multiplication and division - looking at making arrays, doubling and grouping with lots of practical activities to support this.
In science we planted some sunflower seeds - we are hoping to have a lovely display in front of the classrooms eventually. In PE this week we have been doing some yoga and athletics (in preparation for sports day - date to follow).
Please remember to keep reading at least 4 times per week and recording this in the Reading Record, lots of the children should now be able to try at least some of the words in the week library book too. Remember the more times your child reads a text, the more fluent they become, aiding their understanding of what they have read.
