SNOW DAY

Good morning year one! 

I hope you all have a nice day in the snow today, remember to wrap up warm and play safely....

...but if it is too cold outside and you are looking for things to do then look no further. 

Literacy - today in Literacy we were going to be writing our poems on to best paper concentrating on our handwriting. You could write a winter poem and use all of the top tips we have been using in class (describing words, repetition, comparing things). It is really important to form our letters properly as this will help us when we come to join our letters and will help with our spelling. Any handwriting practise you can do at home would be great! Here is a picture to remind you where to start your letters. 




In Numeracy we would be continuing to practise our subtraction. I was so impressed yesterday as we had not done any 'taking-away' before and everyone picked it up really quickly! To practise taking away there are lots of activities on the IXL website under 'subtraction'.

 Letters and Sounds...there are lots of fun phonics games for reinforcement on  http://www.familylearning.org.uk/phonics_games.html. The children should know what phase they are working in. Blending and spelling practise are always very useful too. 

Have fun today and stay safe. I will see you all on Monday.
