Year 1: What We Are Learning 

Year 1 have been working really hard this week. 

 In Literacy this week the children have been writing amazing adjectives to describe Traction Man's personality and his appearance. The children also made their very own characters out of a variety of Arts and Crafts resources. They gave their characters names and decided if they were good or bad. They wrote sentences using adjectives to describe their characters that they made.

The children have also been working hard in Read, Write, Inc this week. Please continue to read with your children and work on their Spellings with them. Please remember to sign your child's Reading Record Book.
