Weekly Round Up 10th January

Good Afternoon Class 1!

And welcome back to school. I hope all the parents and carers had a wonderful Christmas break, it has been lovely hearing from the children about all the things that they have been up to and the gifts that they received. Thankyou very much for your kind gifts! On a sperate note, I cannot believe that we have completed our first term term, we are a 1/3 of the way through year 1!

As always, we have had a busy week this in school and the children have settled back in and have smashed all of their work.

Maths

In maths the children continue their second place value unit: Place Value within 20. The children have explored the number 11, 12 and 13, along with 14, 15, and 16. Exploring different ways that the numbers can be made as well as solving problems associated with these numbers. Next week the children will explore; 17,18 and 19, the number 20, one more and one less and then the number line to 20.

English

In English we have had a very busy week completing a unit on Key skills. We have had a huge push on correctly formed letters, use of capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. The unit has been linked closely to dreams and goals. The children explored what they would like to improve at school and home, some of you will be getting extra help tidying up at home this weekend if the children stick to their goals!

Next week, we will commence our retelling unit, based upon Little Red Riding Hood.

**We will commence our spelling homework next week**
