English

In English, we are reading the book: The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark.

In our first lesson, we researched information about Barn Owls.

During our Sentence Stacking lessons, we use images from the story to help us write our own descriptive versions of the story before we plan and write our own stories about an animal who is scared of something.

Please look forward to some photos of our Experience Days in future lessons.

We will share some of our writing here as well.

Maths

In Maths, we are learning about measuring length.

We have learnt how to measure in cms using a ruler and in ms using a metre stick or measuring tape.

We are practising our 2, 5 and 10 times tables by watching:

We play on Hit the Button as often as we can to test our speed and accuracy in recalling our multiplication facts.

Reading Books

Please help to encourage your child to read at home as often as possible.  They can read their Little Wandle Guided Reading books, their Reading for Pleasure books, a book from home, recipes, magazines etc.

Please record and sign when you have read with your child or seen them reading independently at home.

PE Days

Our PE days in Spring Term are Mondays and Thursdays.

On these days, please make sure children are: 
- wearing PE kits,
- have suitable footwear for PE (trainers/plimsolls/pumps),
- have long hair tied up,
- have earrings removed or taped.

Spellings

Spellings will be glued into reading records on a Friday to be practised at home for a spelling test the following Friday.

Scores from each test will be recorded so you can celebrate your child's hard work and success at home.

Year 1 and 2 Common Exception words will be practised throughout the year as well.
