What a great start to the summer term it has been for the children in Year 1. Everyone has been working their socks off.
In English we have begun our new topic of No-Bot Robot. Children will be learning the story and creating their own version over next few weeks. Ask your child to perform the story for you – they should be able to tell you it with the actions!
In Maths we are learning about capacity. The children will be exploring how to measure liquid and using containers and water to compare volumes.
Our new topic All About Animals has also kicked of this week and children have been learning about different types of animals. This has included learning some new words such as invertebrate, mammal and amphibian as wells as talking about more familiar words such as bird, fish and reptile. Please talk about these animals with the children and look out for different types of animals in books and stories.
Our computing links nicely with our Topic lessons as we are talking about sorting. In the coming weeks we will be using computer software to sort information into groups. Children are able to log onto PurpleMash at home, please speak to your child’s class teacher if you require a log in reminder.
Finally, we are working hard in preparation for the Phonics Screening Check in a few weeks. You should have received a letter that explains what the check is and what you can do to help at home. Please see the following website for resources to prepare the children for this:

We are offering a workshop to share some of the resources to help prepare. This will be taking place on Tuesday. Please check your emails for further details or contact the office for another letter.
