Year 1 2023 - 2024

It has been a very exciting week! We have been practising for our Key Stage One nativity play which we hope you are looking forward to watching next week and the Singalong members have also been practising for their debut performance at HOHO Helsby on Saturday!
In our English lessons this week, we have read to the end of Lost and Found and have been sequencing the story and thinking about the characters’ feelings. In phonics, we learnt the sounds ure (sure it’s pure), are (care and share) and ew (chew the stew)
In Maths, we have continued our work on number bonds and addition within 10.
In our computing lesson this week, we thought about internet safety.
The excitement peaked on Friday with the arrival of advent calendars and a class elf (!), own clothes day (thank you for the donations for the school fair) and our festive fun run in aid of the Hospice of The Good Shepherd. Please see photos on Twitter.
We are sure that we will see many of you at HoHo this weekend. Singalong, choir and band are performing at St Paul’s Church at 3pm (performers to arrive at 2.45 please) and please remember to stop by our crafts and teddy tombola stalls in the Scout Hut from midday onwards. Keep your eyes peeled for penguins in the parade too!
Looking ahead to next week, we will be creating advent wreaths in school so if you have any greenery (holly, conifer etc) that you could send in on Monday, that would be much appreciated, thank you!
Have a lovely weekend – keep warm!
Mrs Ps
Next week - Singalong Club will be back to its usual slot on Wednesday after school – our last rehearsal before HoHo!
Friday is own clothes day for the school fair (sweet jars) but please ensure the children are wearing something suitable for getting active as it is also our festive fun run.
The children enjoy these games that practise phonics
