Week beginning 15th May

This week in English we have been reading the story Jasper's Beanstalk written by Nick Butterworth. The children all planted their own magic seed and thought about what it could grow into. The children then used adjectives to describe what had grown and have all written their own short story.




In maths we have been recapping halves and quarters and sharing amounts equally.




Next Monday 22nd May are our class photographs- please send children in full school uniform.




We still have over 20 squares left to sell for our fundraiser. We would like to sell as many as possible so if you would like any more please see a member of the year one team.




We break up for half term Friday 26th May and return Monday 5th June for our final half term in year one.




Phonic checks will be taking place the following week (Monday 12th June). Please keep practising!!
