Revise the sound  ee (what can you see)


We have now learnt all the set 2 sounds so we are starting with set 3 sounds.  In English the same sound can often be made 2 or more different ways, so we are now looking at new ways to spell the sounds we already know.

set 3 sounds
try revising these set 2 sounds too

As our running sessions are taking up part of our read write inc lessons, this week we will attempt to do RWI on Monday Tuesday and Thursday, rather than Monday Tuesday & Wednesday. To enable the children to have long enough to practice the books we are now going to change the reading books on a Tuesday instead of Wednesday.  Please bring in your RWI and Oxford Reading Tree books tomorrow (Tuesday)
Thanks. Library books will still be changed on Thursdays.

This week we will also be learning about Chinese New Year and the story of the Great Race (there are numerous videos on you tube).


Maths - we are continuing our work on counting in 5s and from Wednesday we will work on counting on in 2s and odd/even numbers. There will be a new game on the activelearn site from Wednesday.


Running - this morning the children actually counted how far they ran. They took a block for each lap (roughly 200m) they ran and in total Y1 took 152 blocks which means that together they ran 30.4km (From Vegueta to Arinaga)
From time to time the children will collect a block to count their distance. the idea is that they improve against their personal best and not compare themselves to other children. Your child will hopefully know how far he/she has run and the aim is that by the end of February they will be able to run at least 1 lap more.


If you haven't already signed up for tree planting, there is still time. I went on Saturday and had a lovely time. You can sign up via the school parents portal.
