Croeso! Welcome to our Year 1 Class Page – Here's What We've Been Up To This Week!

We've had a super exciting and very busy week in Year 1, packed with learning, exploring, and lots of fun! Here's a little look at what we've been doing…

.

Talk for Writing: Max and the Wild Things 📝📚

Our young writers have been busy using 'talk for writing' to write the story of Max and the Wild Things! With the help of Mr Marker ✏️, the children remembered to use punctuation carefully and followed the story in the correct order. It’s been wonderful to see their creativity and independence shine through as they write their stories in their books.

Sportathon Fun! 🏃‍♂️🤸‍♀️⚽

We kicked off our Sportathon this week with lots of energetic challenges! The children tested their skills by doing shuttle runs, star jumps, ball bounces, long jumps, and more – all within set times. It was hard work, but everyone had a blast pushing themselves and cheering each other on. A huge thank you to all families who have brought in their sponsor forms and donations. Your support helps us raise money for a fantastic charity! 💖

Butterfly Release – A Magical Moment 🦋🌿

After watching our butterflies grow through their incredible life cycle, the children said a heartfelt goodbye as we released them into the wild. It has been truly special to witness this journey together and see the children’s excitement and care for these beautiful creatures.

Year 1 End of Year Assembly 🎭👏

We were thrilled to see so many families join us for the Year 1 End of Year Assembly. The children performed brilliantly, showcasing how much they have grown this year. They did a wonderful job recapping all the amazing things we have learned and experienced.

Successful Transition Day 🌟👩‍🏫

This week, the children also had a successful Transition Day! They enjoyed meeting their new Year 2 teachers and got a little taste of what to expect next year. It was wonderful to see their excitement and confidence as they took their first steps towards Year 2.

Important Reminder 📅

Only 2 weeks left until summer break! ☀️ Please remember to send in your child’s consent form for our trip to Manor Park next Tuesday if you haven’t already. It’s going to be a fantastic way to celebrate the end of our Year 1 journey! 🎉

Thank you all for your continued support and enthusiasm. We can’t wait to see what next week brings! 🌟

Diolch,

Year 1 Team

Home Learning

Please remember to listen to your child read and learn the new key words. Don't feel you have to read the entire book in one go. You could read alternate pages if that helps- it keeps the pace of the book going and you are modelling as you read.

Key words are so important. Write them on post-its- stick them everywhere and refer to them throughout the week- not just reading time, it all helps.

Please send in ALL reading books and folders on a daily basis please, thank you.

Writing numbers to 20, focusing on teen numbers and correct formation.

We are working on counting on from a given number- playing board games can really help with this.
