This week we have been continuing to focus on the Arctic

Reception have produced some lovely art work and writing. We have been working really hard on writing simple sentences, remembering our capital letters, spaces and full stops.

Year 1 have written a reply to a letter we received from a young boy from the Arctic. We used our ‘Letter Checklist’ to make sure our letter was as good as it could be. Can you remember the 7 things on our success criteria?

In maths this week Year 1’s have been practising number bonds to 8 / 9 and 10. We have also been recapping counting on in 10’s starting from any given number.

Reception have been practising to count on and count back to find the answer to addition and subtraction sums. Remember to put the biggest number in your head and ‘fingers up’. Use the spinners to make your own sums! Click here
