Yesterday in computing, the children explored a computer for the first time in school. The children were learning how to drag and click using the touchpad on the computer. 

We started our year 1 guided reading journey this week!  The children will also be bringing home a class library book to share with you.  They have chosen this text from our classroom library and this is not levelled.  It is a book to share together, discussing, predicting and enjoying with you. All of the children have been set a Twinkl text online with their new accounts.  You will find their log in details on/in their yellow diaries.  We wanted to get the children started on these accounts with levels linked to our grouped guided reading texts.  As we progress through initial assessments, you may find that the level changes to meet individual needs. The texts this week: Level 2: Bins, Bins, Bins Level 3: Farm to Yarn Level 4: Haircut The children read every day in school, whether this be as a group, class or through everyday learning.  We will also listen to the children read individually.  Please continue to write in the yellow diaries each...

Today in phonics with Mrs Brown, we played a game of 'Quiz, Quiz, Trade' using tricky words.  We read the word to our partner, taking turns and then swapped the cards before finding a new partner.  We really enjoyed this game and asked to play it again!  Lots of tricky words were read from Levels 2-4.  As some of us begin our Level 5 journey, we can continue to add more words each week!  

 One of our P.E sessions each week in this half term is based on improving our agility.  We will be focusing on changing direction quickly and finding space.  We have also discussed staying safe in P.E.- Listening carefully and following instructions.

Today we explored counting the correct number of objects for a chosen numeral using a variety of manipulatives.  We used tens frames to 'prove' our ideas and some of us were also keen to record number sentences!

  Today in maths, we were learning to sort objects.   The children had to think how they could sort the shapes.  They sorted the shapes by their colour, name and size.

 Yesterday, the children had a party. The party marked the end of a fantastic year of learning. 

 Today in maths, the children were learning to tell the time to the hour.  The children learnt that the shorter hand is the hour hand and the longer hand is the minute hand.  The children also learnt the term o'clock.

 

 Over the last few weeks, a sports coach has been teaching the children some of the skills that they will need for sports day.  Yesterday, they practised their relay skills.
