Welcome to Class 1M.

Our teacher is Mrs Metcalfe.  Miss Pemberton is our LSA

We always try our best and have lots fun while we learn in Year 1!

As we are unfortunately not able to be together in school today, please find some activities below which you can get on with at home.
Reading - this is always our number one activity. You can practice reading your reading book/Read Write Inc reading book and can practice reading or sharing any other books you have at home or using the links that have been shared in the portfolio section of Class Dojo.

Linking to our maths, collect up to 10 objects, toys can be used for this. How many do you have? This number is your whole. Split them into two groups. These are your parts. How many are in each part?
Put the two parts together to get your whole.
Part + Part = Whole. Can you write an addition number sentence?
Start with your whole, take away one part. How many have you got now?
Whole - Part = Part. Can you write a subtraction number sentence?

Thank you

Below you will find lots of information about our class, including what we have been up to, homework, reading book days and PE. 

Homework Menu

Every half term, a homework menu will be shared on here with a selection of tasks to be completed, across all areas of the curriculum. It is your choice how many you complete, however you must do at least one and hand it in by the end of the half term. Your completed work will be celebrated. 

Water Bottles

Children can bring in a water (and only water) in a named bottle so if they get thirsty they have access to a drink throughout the day. Unfortunately, we don't have the facilities in class to provide drinks, please provide your child with a clearly labelled drink. Thank you.

PE

Our PE day this year is Thursday. Please ensure that your child comes to school in their PE kit on Thursday. No PE kits are to be brought into school.

‘The school PE kit is available from Lazer School Wear, St Mary’s Road in Garston.  This is a red t-shirt with the school badge and school blue shorts.  However, your child can also wear a plain red t-shirt and dark blue shorts that are available from most supermarkets.  The children can wear any training shoes for PE.  

This is part of our school uniform and must be worn for PE lessons. 

Football kits and other sportswear will not be allowed.’

Book Bags

Reading books will be changed regularly. Your child will take home a Read, Write Inc phonics book which your child has read during RWI lessons. They will also take home a book for you to read together for pleasure. Please send your child's book bag to school with them every day. Ebooks will also be allocated regularly on Oxford Owl. Your child's log in details are the same as last year.

Phonics

In Year 1 we teach phonics daily. Phonics is the learning and application of the letters and sounds children need in order to read and write. We use Read, Write Inc to teach phonics and to apply these skills when reading and writing. Children will be taught in small groups. More information can be found here https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-schemes-oxford-levels/read-write-inc-phonics-guide/ 

It is important for children to pronounce phonemes (sounds) correctly. Here is a video which shows how to pronounce them accurately. When saying phonemes with your child, please pronounce them correctly.  

Autumn 2

RE: Our topic is Prophecy and Promise. The children will develop and early understanding of the Christian belief that God showed us the full depth of his love by sending Jesus his Son.

English: We will be continuing with our Read, Write, Inc lessons. Books liked to the sounds we have learned will be sent home. They will also be assigned on Oxford Owl. The children will also listen to the story of Rapunzel, write their own story and write instructions.

WCR: Our whole class reading lessons will mainly be based on books about Fairy Stories and Rhymes. In these lessons, the children will be taught and will use new, adventurous vocabulary. They will be encouraged to think about the text and use the text to help them answer questions.

Maths: We will be using Part Whole Models to help us add and subtract numbers to 10. We will look at fact families and number bonds to 10.

PE: In our games lessons, the children will copy actions, repeat actions and skills  and  move with control and care.

PSHE: The children will learn how to stay safe in school, outside and at home. They will also look at how to keep themselves safe.

Geography: The children will look at how weather changes through the seasons, in the UK and around the world.

Philosophy For Children (P4C):During this term and throughout the year, your child will have the opportunity to give their thoughts on various topics. During the sessions we will be encouraging the children to understand, that as well as their opinion being valued, it is also important to respect the thoughts and opinions of others. The sessions are a time for discussion and debate and develop the children’s speaking and listening skills.
