Welcome to a new term.
This week, we will be starting our new discovery topic on Toys. As many of the children will have received new toys for Christmas we will start by sharing our favourite toy with the class and describing it.
Please can your child bring in toy on Wednesday 10th to share, draw and write about.
In Maths, we will be completing our subtraction unit and then moving on to learning about 3-D shapes.
In phonics, we will be starting in our new phonics groups. We are making amazing progress. If your child hasn’t moved groups this time it may be because they need to consolidate some sounds they have been taught. Don’t forget to access the phonics homework online to consolidate reading and sounds learnt that week.
In our extended writing, we will be writing a recount about our Christmas holidays by using time conjunctions and learning how to extend our sentences by using the conjunction ‘and’. We will be learning how to add a sentence to describe how we felt about something we did in the holidays.
On Thursdays this term we will be doing outside PE so please send your child in a track suit.
On fridays, we will be visiting the Library so your child will be issued with a new book this week.
If you have any queries please email us on
Have a great week.
The year 1 team
