Reading

• All children are expected to read 5 times per week minimum.
• Reading books and reading record books should be in school EVERYDAY in your child's book bag. The number of reads recorded in the record book will be counted on a Monday.
• An adult signature and an optional comment should be recorded after each read. 
• 5 reads signed by an adult each time will earn you a raffle ticket each week! The raffle tickets go into a box and at the end of term one lucky winner will be drawn out who will then go on the bookshop visit to buy a book for their class.
• If you have any questions or concerns about your child's reading or would like some help with how best to support their reading, please speak to the class teacher in the first instance.

Spelling list Year 1/2

Term 1

Welcome back everyone! We hope you had a lovely, relaxing break over the summer. We look forward to hearing all about what you got up to!

This term, our writing will be based around 'The Twits' and 'The Enormous Crocodile'. Our class reader is 'Fantastic Mr Fox' so we have lots of Roald Dahl books to look forward to!

In Maths, we will be looking at the place value of numbers up to 100. Mrs Bates will be teaching a unit on shape.

English

In English, the children have been doing some super writing based on the book 'The Enormous Crocodile'. They have come up with their own clever tricks and written their own stories.

Maths

In Maths, we have finished our Place Value unit and have now moved onto Addition and Subtraction. This will continue into Term 2!

Science

In Science, we have been looking at different materials and their properties. We are carrying out an investigation based on The Three Little Pigs! The children will build houses from different materials and test them for how strong and waterproof they are. Most of the children have predicted that the lego house will be the strongest and most waterproof!

ZooLab

Year 1 and Year 2 were very lucky to have a ZooLab workshop! Below are some photos of the animals they got to see and handle. Click on them to see the full images...
