Isn't it exciting to see the signs of Spring around!
Heading into the second half of our Spring term, we have an action-packed few weeks ahead.
This term is all about animals, and in Science we will be classifying animals into groups based on their characteristics. It seems a fitting time to bring in our very own fish tank, and take on the responsibility of looking after our first class pets. Later in the term we will visit West Lodge Farm Park, to get hands on experience with a range of mammals.
The KIRF (Key Instant Recall Fact) for this term is 'count in 10s to 100' and 'count in 5s to 50'. There are many songs available online to aid the recall of 5s and 10s. Alternatively, ask children to make groups of objects. Can you sort the pasta shells into groups of 10? Can you sort the leaves into groups of 5? How many do we have in total?
A big thank you for your continued support with homework, spellings, and projects! Children will continue to receive red words on flashcards to learn at home. These are common words used in writing, so it is very beneficial to learn them each week and in preparation for a spelling test each Friday. Our School Phonics Lead has also recommended that Year 1 children receive green words on flashcards each week, in line with the sounds they will learn in their afternoon Phonics session.
As always, if you have any questions or queries, don't hesitate to get in touch.
