What a fantastic start to Year One

What a fantastic start to Year One! 


We have had a very busy few days in Year One! We have been writing, painting, playing, reading, sharing, counting, building, pattern building, computing, drawing and lots, lots more! I hope everyone has had lots to tell mums and dads when they get home, but if anyone needs a reminder our blog will have lots of pictures of what we've been up to! 
 



Literacy 
In Literacy next week we will be writing postcards about our holidays. If anyone has any postcards they have been sent over the holidays you might like to bring them in to show us! We will also see how well we can read our high frequency words and tricky words and we will practise putting these words into sentences! These words can be found on our 'word wall' tab on our blog.

Numeracy 
In our number work this week we will be looking at 'estimates' and seeing if we can make 'sensible' guesses of how many there are of something. You could practise this at home with your toys or with your dinner! For example...
How many carrots do you think you have on your plate? Now lets count them to see if you were right!
We will also be practising writing our number and seeing if we can put numbers in order. Here is a website to help you practise your number formation... Number formation

Topic
In our topic this week we are continuing our theme of 'All about me'. We will be painting self portraits, thinking about where we live and talking about our families. We will also be making our class charter this week!
