Term 1
Science: We have learnt about materials and their properties. We loved testing which material would be the stickiest to stick No-Bot's bottom back on!
RE: We have been learning about Special stories and Sacred stories from Christian and Jewish perspectives. Everyone was confident to talk about their favourite story.
Geography: Mrs Thomas has been really impressed with our knowledge of our local area. We were able to describe Bardney and draw routes around the village on a map.
Music: Miss Clark has taught us how to play the ocarinas and we look forward to sharing our learning in the final achievement assembly of this term
Art: In art,we used clay to make pinch pots. We used a range of techniques including pinching, rolling, kneading. Check out the pictures below, we practised used playdough before using clay.
Reading & Phonics
It is really important for children to read regularly at home. It's also great practice for children to listen to stories being read to them. Try to read for a few minutes every day and record it in your child's reading record. If your child has 5 reading entries in a week, they will be entered into our school reading raffle which is drawn every half term! They could win the opportunity to choose a book of their own to the value of £10.
Please see the link below to the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds parent help page for tips on how to help your child with phonics at home.

Numbots
Children in year 1 are expected to be confident when recalling their numberbonds to 10. You will find your child's log in in their reading record.
Using apps such as Numbots and TT Rocks will give children an opportunity to practice their number bonds and timestables at home in a fun, interactive way!
