Welcome to Class 1

Teacher: Mr Taylor

Our Learning

The Way, The Truth and The Life 

Mary our Mother

The children will learn that God sent the Angel Gabriel with a message to Mary and learn why this is important.

English

Our text in English this half term is Nibbles the Book Monster by Emma Yarlett. We will be writing a diary entry from the characters point of view. We will base this on Nibbles adventure through the story.  We will be exploring and finding out how Nibbles infiltrates other stories and how these change. 

Maths

We will be continuing to focus on using concrete objects and manipulating these to strengthen our knowledge of numbers, particularly the part-whole model  We will discuss how we are able to sort objects in a variety of different ways and count them.

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 each week from Google Classroom.

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.
