We have been learning this rhyme to help us to remember our number bonds to 10.

 

0 + 10    Big strong men

1 + 9      Feeling fine

2 + 8      Never late

3 + 7      Come from Devon

4 + 6      Like to play tricks

5 + 5      Come alive

6 + 4      Open the door

7 + 3      Like to drink tea

8 + 2      Feeling blue

9 + 1      Almost gone

10 + 0    Superhero!

 

Please help your children to learn this at home.

In Maths we have been learning our number bonds to 10.  These are two numbers that add together to make 10.  Please help us to get better by practicing at home.

 

0 + 10 = 10

1 + 9 = 10

2 + 8 = 10

3 + 7 = 10

4 + 6 = 10

5 + 5 = 10

6 + 4 = 10

7 + 3 = 10

8 + 2 = 10

9 + 1 = 10

10 + 0 = 10

 



Attendance

A big well done to 1M who have received the attendance cup twice already this half term!

 

It is so important that children come to school every day on time so they do not miss out on crucial learning.  If your child is really too poorly to come to school then you must telephone the office to inform the class teacher.

 

 

Rainbow Grammar

In Year 1 we use Rainbow Grammar to help us to make our sentences the best they can be.  At the moment we are focusing on 3 main areas.

 

 

SUBJECT

The subject is who or what the sentence is about - the star of the show!

 

PREDICATE

The predicate is what the subject is doing or what is happening to the subject.

 

PUNCTUATION

Punctuation is used at the end or within the sentence.

 

Have a look at some of our first sentences using our Rainbow Grammar cards.

 

 

 

 

 

 



Welcome to Our Blog for 2015-2016!

Hello all!  Welcome to our year one blog.  We will use it to keep you up to date with things that we have been doing or learning about in school.

This week we have been learning about addition in maths and what might happen next in our star stories.  We have enjoyed being authors!  In Science we are learning about our senses, next week we will be tasting some different foods.

We really enjoyed our local area walk!  We will be doing some writing about it and then we will be sending some work home in the post!

A few useful notes!

• P.E is on a Monday and Wednesday.  No earrings please!  A lot of kit has no names, this is making getting changed very difficult.
• Reading books - you need to be reading at home at least 3 times a week, commenting and signing the diary.
• Letters - please read your child's letters, they are important and often require a response.
• Book bags - every child needs a book bag that can fit in a piece of A4 paper.
• Water bottles - every child needs a water bottle, staff are not allowed to provide cups of water for the children due to possible cross contamination.

Keeping up with Columbia

As you will remember Miss Blakesley recently visited our link school in Columbia and this year we enjoyed a visit from Walter and Astrid, teachers from the school.  We are keeping in touch with our new friends and completing lots of projects in school that are linked to projects in Columbia.  If you would like to keep up to date with our international links you can access the blog via the school website.

Investors in Pupils

Our work with Investors in Pupils targets is designed to raise children’s understanding of the wider world, develop key skills and encourage children to set and work towards their own achievements. This half term, in key stage one, we will all be working towards the achievement of the same target.

I will arrive at school on time every day.

There are several reasons why we have picked this target

1.    To encourage those children who already want to/do arrive on time – we want them to see how proud we are of their efforts.

2.   To encourage those children who are more resistant to getting ready for school in the morning.

3.   Most importantly to help them along the way to achieving their reward time on the inflatable that Commando Joe will be bringing into school.

Each child has 18 spots to colour on their target card and they will achieve a spot each time they arrive before 9:00am through the classroom door.  This will get them well on the way to achieving 100% attendance and punctuality ready for the inflatable.

 

We hope you will see the value in supporting your child with this target and will help them to achieve their reward for colouring all their spots by the end of this half term.

Thank you for your support
