In 'Grammar' this week the children will be learning about apostrophes and ‘contractions’. It will be expected that children can recognise contractions in sentences and use them in their own sentences. The children will also have a reading comprehension on Tuesday.
The children are
going to continue with the story theme of the Gingerbread Man. They will base
their story around the school setting. They have been looking at Google Maps
and Street View to see where their story might end up. We have been looking at
the directional language north, east, south and west and asking the children to
use this vocabulary in their writing.
Year 1
English
This week we will be
completing a variety of book related activities to celebrate World Book Day. We
will continue to focus on reading and spelling the suffixes : ing, ed and er.
We will also be continuing to develop letter formation and handwriting skills.
In Maths we will
continue to explore addition by counting along a number line. We will continue
to develop the naming and describing of 3D shapes, and how to draw the hands on
a clock to show o'clock and 1/2 past times.
Topic
This week we will be starting our new History topic 'A street
through time.' We will be starting by focusing on The Stone Age, and how people
in that age stayed full, clean and safe. We will be designing a simple Stone
Age poster and thinking about what we would miss from our lives today, if we
returned to the Stone Age.
Have a good week everyone,
The 1 / 2 team.
I can divide by
grouping things.
I know what
divide means.
