Hello Year 1!

I cant believe that this week marks the start of our final half term in Year 1. These are such strange times, but we have adapted so well and should be so proud of the learning and g r o w i n g that we have done so far! I hope that you have all had a wonderful half term break, and taken the chance to relax and have fun. Hopefully the glorious weather that we have seen will continue! 

This weeks learning activities are listed below. As usual, there are reading, writing, maths, phonics activities, and some activities for afternoon sessions including science and PSHE. After feedback regarding the phonics sessions last week, I have uploaded a number of phonics challenges which will provide further challenge following the videos. It is important at this point that the children recap and revisit the phonemes previously taught via the videos, as this is crucial for their reading development. If you have any questions or need support with any of the home learning uploaded this week, please feel free to contact me via the office email. 

There are 3 reading comprehension activities for this week, and the children should continue to be encouraged to read whenever possible. Please remember that there are lots of wonderful resources online such as Oxford Owl, for children to read many books online. 

Have an amazing week and keep smiling. I am thinking of you all and miss you very much!

Phonics

In Phonics this week, the children will be continuing to access the Letters and Sounds Videos. This week, they should complete lessons 11 to 15. The links below will take you directly to the videos.
