Year 1 Spellings

Thank you to everyone who has been taking the time to practise spellings at home. It is really making a difference to children’s writing. To be on track at the end of year 1 children need to be spelling many words accurately.

Today we have sent home our new set of expedition spellings. These will be tested after the half term break. In the meantime please regularly practise spelling words from the red word list, starting with the easiest words that the children learned to read in reception and building up to spelling the words we have learned to read in Year 1.

Children will be tested on their red word spelling after half term and we will be looking for children to be spelling an increasing number of words correctly ready for entering Year 2.

Again thank you for your support. It is so lovely to see the children coming to school excited to show off their learning and showing much more confidence and motivation in their writing lessons. Keep it up Year 1, we are very proud of you!

Key stage 1 castle product

Year 1 and 2 have put their amazing castle that they created using their new design and technology skills, into our local community. It has pride of place at the entrance to Thorne library and some children will be going next week to take a photograph for their product launch!

If you would like to go and visit the castle, why not sign up for a library card at the same time!

Well done key stage 1…what great work!

Huge shoutout to Ruby, who has managed to hit 170 reads!! Don’t forget to write in your reading diary every single time you read to get those certificates.

Some wonderful hard work going on at home too, with celebrations for those children with the highest scores in both Numbots and TTRockstars. Remember to get playing!! If you need a reminder of your log in, just ask your class teacher!

Finally, a magnificent well done to our Out Of This World winners this week, as you can see the children are always SO proud of themselves and its fantastic to see. Keep up the hard work, KS1!
