What a lovely first two days we have had in Year 1! The children have settled in so well and it has been great to see them getting used to their new classroom, new routines and, of course, being back with their friends.
In English, we have started our new All About Me topic by looking at what a sentence is and what we need to include when we write one. We have been practising saying sentences aloud and remembering our capital letters and full stops.
In Maths, we have been practising counting forwards and backwards within 10. We have also revisited the composition of 5, thinking about the different ways to make 5 in our maths mastery.
Next week in RE, we are looking at the creation story in an immersive way!
GOING DEEPER IN CONVERSATION
At the beginning of every year we start with our Safeguarding lesssons for children. These help the children to know how to keep safe. This week (session 1) we have reflected on feeling specifically “yucky” feelings. This does not mean the feelings are bad - it mean they are telling us something is wrong. Ask your child what the “yucky feelings” are and what they can do if they have them.
The key message - tell your trusted adult. Here is s letter about the lessons and what we did today
LET’S CELEBRATE
As agreed, through our school council, our learning awards will no longer be handed out in assembly on Friday. We now have mini certficates for learning which can be given when we spot amazing learning in class. Keep an eye out for these - many will be coming your way!
The Virtue Star remains and will be awarded next week. We are trying to be Loving and Compassionate.
