This week we have been learning lots of new ways to write sounds we already know - for example 'oo' as split 'u_e' .....

... 'ie' written as split 'i_e' .....

....and different ways of writing 'soft c' which makes the 'ss' sound!

After looking at 2D shapes last week, this week we have been thinking about 3D "fat" shapes and their properties - how many faces, edges and vertices (corners) they have.

Year 1 went for a shape hunt around the school and found lots of examples.

  


Thank you to everyone that attended out 'Times Tables Rockstars' share morning on Thursday - it was great to have so many parents involved and see the children so enthusiastic.
You should all have a log-in stuck into your reading diary and this was also sent home in a letter on Friday, with a reminder of the information given on Thursday and some further tips and advice.
Please let me know if you are having trouble with logging in or playing the games 😕 or if you were not able to attend the share and you would like to come in for a demonstration to help you get the most out of this program. 



Home Learning 
Due Thursday 24th January 

Your homework this week is to practice your times tables. 

There are 2 tasks this week:

1) Practice ‘Stick ‘em up’ with someone at home for the 2x and 10x tables
You could teach a grown-up how to do it or practice with an older brother or sister or a friend, so that they can check how you get on.

2) Log on to Times Tables Rockstars and have a practice of one of the games.

You all now have a log-in stuck into your reading journals and also have had a letter sent home to remind you of these details incase you have forgotten.

If you are not able to access the game via the website or app and you need a chance to use a school laptop please let Mrs Flynn know BEFORE next Thursday so we can make some time.
