Class 1 2020 - 2021
Welcome to Class 1
Teacher: Mrs Mooney
Our Learning
English
Our text for this half term is Nibbles the Book Monster by Emma Yarlett. As Nibbles munches his way through various fairy tales, we will be learning about traditional stories and how they have been passed down through the generations. Our writing focus will be on recounts and the children will learn how to write a diary entry. Throughout Year 1 we will be focusing on sentence punctuation, grammar and handwriting.
The children are heard to read daily, either through guided reading lessons or one to one reading. We also have a daily phonics session. The children are introduced to a new sound and then practise reading and writing words containing that sound. We also work on common, irregular spellings.
PE
Our PE day is Wednesday and the children should come to school wearing their PE kit.
Reading
Reading books are changed every Monday and Thursday. Please make sure they are in school on those days. We encourage children to read as much as possible at home.
Homework
Spellings are set every Monday for the following Friday. They can be downloaded from this page.
Maths activities are set on MyMaths.co.uk. The children have a login for this website.
Additional resources to support home learning
The children have a login for NumBots. The online games are a great way to develop mental maths skills. The same login can be used to access Times Table Rock Stars.
PhonicsPlay.co.uk has games to develop reading and spelling skills.
Communication
I am very happy to answer any questions or to listen to any concerns you may have. Please contact me through the school office.
