key stage 1 community crew

Class 5: Maths
The children in class 5 are continuing to work hard in their maths lessons. This week we have been learning about one more/less and have been practising our skills using a variety of equipment.
Arise, Sir Martin. Y1’s Special Visitor.
We were very lucky today to have a visit from Sir Martin of Lamb, a knight from medieval times, who came to tell us all about castles and what it was like to live in one! He was very impressed with the children’s knowledge and we all got a chance to attack different types of castle walls to find out which one was strongest. The children had lots of fabulous questions for Sir Martin and loved having him visit.
Thanks so much for coming!
Class 5: Numbots
The children have been so excited about Numbots and today we had our first Numbots Celebration! We’ve had lots of children accessing Numbots at home over the past week. Lots of children were excited to receive their first level completion certificates today. Shout out to Eoghan, Phoebe and Myla who have already achieved their first 2 certificates! Amazing work.
Keep playing as we will be having another Numbots celebration in 7 days time! I wonder who will receive certificates next week?
Year 1 Phonics
This week in Miss Schon and Miss Rodger’s phonics groups we have been remembering the /air/ grapheme. The children have been really impressing us with the improvement in their speed and accuracy when reading words and sentences. This week we have also seen lots more progress in children’s sentence writing. The children are working very hard and putting lots of effort into their learning! Keep it up Y1 we are so proud of you!
Can you read the words on your homework sheet? For an extra challenge can you sound out and write the words without looking?
Phonics at Home
Here are some interactive phonics games and fun songs for you to use at home to consolidate the work done by the children in class. Most of the children in Y1 are just beginning phase 4 phonics but practising any of the previous phases would be beneficial to aid fluency. If you have any questions or if any of the links don’t work, please let us know.

Class 5: History
In Year 1 we have been learning about what life was like for people living in medieval times. We have been learning about the Feudal System and the jobs available within the castle. Today children were given a picture depicting a medieval person and were asked to rank themselves according to the feudal system. Why not ask your child about their learning to find out more!
