Year 1 weekly update

Friday 3^rd February 2023

Dear Parents/Carers,

This week we have continued our learning about Arctic animals, researching Polar bears and Reindeer. We have also been learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores, and grouping animals according to what they eat.

Next week we will be working on our DT unit in which we will be making finger puppets. The children will be learning how to do a simple running stitch and also using a glue gun.

Thank you to the two parents that have volunteered their time to help with this.

If you are able to help when the children practise their skills on the afternoon of Monday 6^th February, or on Wednesday 8^th February when we make our puppets, we would be very grateful.

Please let us know if you are free to help on Mon 6^thin the afternoon, Wednesday 8^th in the morning, or Wednesday 8^th in the afternoon.

Homework

Reading – please read your school reading books for 5-10 minutes, 5 times each week. Remember to record this in your reading log.

Bring a book from home

Each week we will ask a child from each class to bring in their favourite book from home to share with the class. We will inform you through our newsletter which child’s turn it is to bring in their book for the following week.

Next week:

Luna from Pine please bring your favourite book to school.

Kai from Maple please bring your favourite book to school.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Harris and Miss Rich
