Hello and welcome back to the Spring Term!
We have a very exciting term ahead learning about inventors and inventions, and we will even become inventors ourselves!!!
I wonder what we will create?
Through Talk for Writing we will also be learning how to write instructions and our main focus text this term is The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl. He likes to eat children!
In Maths we are learning about place value and adding and taking away.
We are looking forward to seeing you again soon.

THIS WEEK’S LEARNING: WEEK COMMENCING 27 March 2023
This week in Maths we will be finishing our unit on mass and capacity. We will be measuring the capacity of a container, and using this to calculate the capacity of more than one container. We will also be comparing the capacity of different containers using <, > and =.
If you would like to practice at home what we have been learning about in school, then please use the workbook on the WhiteRose Maths website Y1-HL-Spring-Block-4-Mass-and-capacity-2020.pdf (whiterosemaths.com)
If you would like a printed copy please let me know.
In English we are using a picture stimulus to write speech bubbles to show what we think the characters are saying. We are focusing on using ‘and’ to join two sentences together, and using an exclamation mark where appropriate.
In Phonics we will be learning the different ways to make ear (ear as in hear, eer as in cheer, -ere as in here and ier as in pier) and then r ( r as in rabbit, wr as in write, rr as in arrive, rh as in rhyme)
If you are able to practice phonics at home please ensure your child sounds out the words so that they are looking for the digraphs, trigraphs and split digraphs. You can also visit www.oxfordphonicschecksupport.co.uk and select ‘Generate Example Screening Check’.
We hope you have a lovely Easter holiday.
Kind regards
Mrs Clifford and Mrs Whittaker
