Durham

w/c Monday 3rd February

 

This week in maths, the children have been exploring counting from 20 to 50, and looking at multiples of 10 and making groups of 10, which they have really enjoyed.

 

After embarking on an exciting treasure hunt around the school last week, the children wrote about their adventure! They amazed us with their descriptive language and imaginations!

 

In science, we learned more about the weather and compared the weather in each season. We went out on the playground to feel the temperature and discussed how the weather will change when Spring arrives. 

 

In art, after exploring portraits and trying out different techniques, the children used textured materials to make a self-portrait.  Some of the materials were tricky to cut, but they persevered and had fun producing abstract portraits.  

 

Handouts and information from the Year 1 maths workshop on Friday 31st January can be found in the useful documents section near the bottom of this page. This week we will be quizzing children on their bonds to 20 (two numbers that add together to make 20). Use this fun hit the button game to practise 'Number bonds' to 'Make 20 at home!

Read Write Inc Phonics Information Coffee Morning - Friday 27th September 2024

 

It was fantastic to see so many of you join us for our Read Write Inc Phonics information. 

 

Please click on the pdf below to see the presentation shared. This information aims to help you, as parents and carers, to support your child’s reading at home by understanding how the children have learnt their sounds, the different ways they can blend those sounds to form words and how some words are not easy to sound out.

 

Remember, if you have any questions or would like to discuss how to further support your child please do not hesitate to get in touch with your child's class teacher or our Reading Lead, Mrs Allison, by emailing the school office.
