What a busy and exciting week we’ve had in Year One. We’ve been thinking about feelings and friendship through our focus story Ruby’s Worry. The children created their very own worry monsters and had some lovely discussions about how we can help comfort a friend when they’re feeling worried.

We also explored the season of autumn on a sensory walk around our school grounds. We used our five senses to notice the changes around us – especially the fallen leaves! We talked about how animals might use these leaves to build cosy homes as the weather gets colder.

In maths, we’ve been learning to count backwards and find numbers that are one less than another. We’re getting really confident using the language “less than” and “more than” too.

Outdoor PE has been full of energy as we’ve been practising our skipping skills – lots of smiles and determination all round!

In phonics, we’re continuing to work hard and have brought home two new reading books to enjoy. Please do take some time to read with your child and write a quick note in their yellow reading record to share how they’re getting on.

A big well done to our Superstars of the week and those who reached gold on our class behaviour chart!

Have a lovely weekend – we’re looking forward to more fun and learning next week!
