Autumn A so far.....

We have been having a great time in the Dragonfly class so far this half-term. We have been covering Owl Babies in English and have managed to make some wonderful missing owl posters. The children are really working hard to use finger spaces, capital letters and full stops. In Maths, we have been looking at place value to 10 and consolidating our number knowledge and knowing how to work with these numbers fluently. In Science, we have been looking at our bodies and what parts of our bodies are used for.  In Art, we have focused on developing our drawing skills, looking at the use of colour, tone and line.

 

            

 

 

 

A warm welcome to all of my new Dragonflies! What a fabulous first week we have had altogether. We have been learning lots about each other, and it was great to hear all about the amazing things you did in the Summer holidays! I am extremely proud of how well you have been doing transitioning from Reception to Year 1. I am extremely lucky to have a wonderful class and I cannot wait to enjoy our learning and fun together throughout this year. 

 

Remote Learning - Day 1

Welcome to the first day of remote learning.

Day 1 will include;

English

Today we would like you to encourage your child to write some 'I can see' sentences. They have previously done this activity but will apply their writing skills to this different context. They will start their sentence by writing 'I can see' and will then complete that sentence by sounding out (don't forget to encourage 'Fred Fingers') different things that they can see.  Your child might like to do this whilst looking through a book and then writing about what they can see in the pictures. In this activity we would focus on using capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and sounding out words phonetically even if they aren't spelt correctly - encourage the children to look for 'Special Friends', do 'Fred Talk' and then 'Read the Word'.
