Welcome back everybody!
We hope you all had an enjoyable Easter break and got to enjoy some of the lovely weather that we had.
This term our project is 'At the Seaside'. We will be learning all about life on, under and near the sea. The children have shared their knowledge of the project with us and have discussed what they would like to find out. This will be incorporated into our lesson plans to ensure that their questions are answered. We are hoping to end the term and the school year with a trip to the seaside in July!
We will be setting homework a little differently this term. We will be alternating between reading comprehension and Maths homework, so as not to overload the children. The reading comprehension will be in the form of a booklet where we will set a page to complete each week, the same as we often do with the Maths homework. Reading comprehension is an essential element of understanding and enjoying reading. It goes way beyond decoding words to read them and requires the children to read a piece of text and answer questions about it to check their understanding.
This week the homework is reading comprehension:
EARLY Comprehension book page 3
FIRST comprehension book pages 4 & 5
The children also have their spellings in their bags or their phonics check practise sheets, along with their Animaphonics reading books.
Don't forget that Key Stage 1 children will be swimming every Thursday up until half term!
If you have any questions or concerns at any time please come and speak to us. We will always do our best to help.
Have a fabulous weekend!
The Key Stage 1 Team
