Week 4

Another very busy week in KS1! Everyday we seem to have more giant rockets, planets and aliens filling our classrooms! The writing the children are producing seems to prove how much they are enjoying this space topic.
The hard work the children are putting into their phonics and writing skills is really beginning to show - have a look below at William Kearsley's writing about his alien. He is in Class 1 and he was chosen as the Writer of the Week for the whole of Key stage 1 - what a superstar!



 
Thank you for returning the homework, it was fantastic to see just how hard the children work at home to produce such good work. Each week the homework will have a numeracy focus (going over the work covered in class) and a spelling focus. In future it will go out on a Wednesday to be returned on the following Monday. Many thanks as well for the continued support with reading at home, it really does make a difference!
 
 
 
 
Next Week ...

Literacy

In literacy this week, we will be reading a lovely book, ' One Giant Leap - The Story of Neil Armstrong.' We will also be watching clips of the Apollo 11 launch and landings which we are sure the children will love! They will then use this information to write their own non chronological report about the Apollo 11 mission using sub headings, captions, pictures and questions. What alot of things to remember!
 
 

Numeracy

In numeracy this week we will continue partitioning with Maltesers! The children are becoming quite expert now! We will also order numbers and introduce the symbols for greater than (>) and less than (<). We will then move on to adding/ subtracting 10 and using number squares refreshing the memories of the children in Year 2.
 
 
 
 
A reminder
 
Don't forget on Tuesday afternoon you are invited to our Mental maths session followed by a welcome and information meeting with Miss Golia, our Key Stage 1 phase leader. The session begins at 1.30 and it would be great if you could join us!
 
 
Have an enjoyable weekend
