We have had a fantastic term in Year 1 and are incredibly proud of the children’s determination, enthusiasm and progress. They have worked so hard across all areas of learning and continue to grow in confidence every day.
In English, the children have now each independently finalised their instructional writing using their phonic knowledge to help them spell and write with increasing confidence. It has been wonderful to see how much progress they have made in their independent work.
The children also thoroughly enjoyed making their own gingerbread men this week! They loved carefully measuring the ingredients and following the recipe step by step, whilst developing their maths and teamwork skills along the way!
We are very excited to begin our new topic all about the seaside next term. We will be learning about seaside holidays, exploring coastal environments and finding out more about Formby and its beautiful beach, dunes and wildlife.
Have a wonderful Half-Term holiday, everyone!
Homework
With our Phonics Screening Check beginning on Monday 8th June, the children’s half-term homework is to practise reading both the real and alien words that have been sent home in their book bags. Please also take time with your child to view the two attached powerpoints below, as these provide valuable at-home practice to help support your child as much as possible.
