English: This week we have started our new book, ‘Not Now, Bernard!’ The children have acted out the story and today have written character descriptions. Some children thought of adjectives to describe each character and made a mind map of their ideas, some have written sentences about their chosen character and some children have used sub-headings to sort their descriptions e.g. what they look like, their personality and behaviour.
Maths: The children have been introduced to position and direction this week. We have discussed lots of vocabulary to describe turns e.g. quarter turn, half turn, three quarter turn and whole turn. We have been describing where objects are using the vocabulary, above, below, in the middle, left, right, up and down.
Science: We have thought about Carnivores, Herbivores and Omnivores this week in Science and learned about the different animals that fall into each category.
PE: We have been practising hard for Sports Day in PE. We have been practising running races, egg and spoon race, bean bag race and the sack race.
Handwriting: We do a lot of handwriting practise in Class 2 and most children have now become confident in using leaders and descenders in their everyday writing. Some children are now joining their writing!
Spellings: To be tested Friday 15th June 2018.
Spellings 8.6.18
Phonics Screening: Year 1 children will be doing their phonics screening next week. Please encourage your children to practise their sounding out and blending in preparation for this and any reading during the weekend would be greatly appreciated!
Have a good weekend!
