we 9th March Year 1
Hi All,
In English for the next two weeks we will be continuing our unit on Recounts. By now you should have heard all about the flying frogs!
The text we are using as our stimulus is a book called ‘Tuesday’ by Robert Weisner. It is a very interesting book and if you get the chance look at it, do. Although there is very little text, there is a lot going on, on the pages and fingers crossed it will really excite the children, and motivate them in their writing.
In maths we will be focusing our attention on subtraction. We will be trying to be quicker and more confident with our number bonds to 20.
The children have been using a programme called ‘Purple Mash’ the site has lots of really good resources for all subjects. I am hoping to pass the logins to you at the phonics screening meetings on Friday.
In the afternoons the children will be continuing their work on megastructures and seasonal changes.

There is to be a change to the Reading Challenge, as the children have really embraced it this year. We are going to increase the number of house points to be awarded with the medal.
Reading Challenge – 14 days consecutive days reading in the reading record, 10 house points and a medal.
