year 1 - What we are Learning

 

We hope you enjoyed your Bank holiday weekend. The children have been busy with phonics this week. We have been putting in an extra phonics session in the afternoon and the children have been super resilient with the extra work. 

Please keep practicing the extra phonics words we are sending home. Every bit of practice helps. Thank you to all the adults that are continuing to practice the words and reading at home.

This week we have been learning about the environment and why it is so important for us to look after the world. We have been looking at video links and information about how the animals can become hurt if we do not put the rubbish in the bin. 

Maths
