Newsletter 1– Spring Term 5th January
Welcome Back
We welcome you back after the Christmas Holidays and wish you a very happy and healthy New Year. We look forward to the coming term and working together to support your child’s education. Please look out for the ‘Topic Letters’ which outline what your child will be learning over the coming weeks.
Happy Home Learning
We are looking at the ‘number one’. Can you discuss what it looks like and how to write it down? When you are out and about, see if you can spot it on car number plates or in the supermarket etc.
Foundation Stage 2
Literacy – We have started to learn letter names. Can you practise singing the alphabet song and then learn the letter sound of the first letter in your name and family name.
Numeracy – We have been looking at 1 pences. Can you make your own shop, selling items with single digit numbers e.g. 2p, 5p, 8p etc
Year 1
Spellings – he, here, friend, was, see, tree, winter, cold, icy.
Please practise each word three times and write a separate sentence for each word.
Maths – We have been learning about “teens” numbers 10 – 19. Can you recognise each one and say, write and draw what it is made of
e.g. 14 is 10 and 4 more
and
0000000000 0000
10 4
Literacy – Can you research one of the following famous pirates? What made them famous? What did they look like? What interesting facts can you find out about them?
Blackbeard, Anne Bonny and Black Bart.
