Numeracy...fractions and fives!

Over the last week we have been finding halves of shapes and numbers and realising that halving is the opposite of doubling. We made our own 'Finding Fractions' posters with all of our halving knowledge! There are some on display in the classroom. We also learnt how to count in 5s..all the way up to 100! This week we are going to build on this knowledge, finishing sequences and answering more 'word problems'... towards the end of the week we will be solving some easter problems!

Keep practising counting in 5s here!

Literacy...Information texts

This week we will continue to look at non-fiction texts and will be writing our own informative texts too.

We are also going to spend a bit of time reminding ourselves when (and where) to use capital letters and full stops. There are some games here for you to practise at home...

Literacy and ICT...Learning about Dictionaries!

We have learnt all about how to use a dictionary this week...we have even had a go at making our own dictionary entries! We used dictionaries to find out some definitions about mini-beasts and we have also looked in non-fiction texts to add our own pieces of information. We created a class dictionary by hand, and also had a go at typing them up on the laptops. Look out for them in our role play area!
They are great!

Literacy - Alphabetical Order

Practise putting words into alphabetical order with these games.

1. Roy the Zebra A-Z
2. Roy the Zebra A-Z
3. Roy the Zebra A-G
4. Roy the Zebra H-N
5. Roy the Zebra O-Z

To be the best that I can be...

To help us remember to be the best that we can be, we have a new display in our classroom to help us. We must remember to check all of these things before we say we have finished. 

Only work that we are sure has all of these things is allowed on the 'finished' splodge! 

Numeracy - Counting in 5s

In Numeracy next week we will recap how to count in 2's and 10's, and will be learning to count in 5's. We will also begin to look at fractions, and how we can record these. We will be looking at halves and quarters of objects and numbers. Remember to look on IXL for games to play at home.

Literacy - Dictionaries!

Next week in Year One, we will be using our knowledge of the alphabet explore dictionaries! We will be ordering words alphabetically, learning how to use a dictionary and looking at how to find information in non-fiction texts. By the end of the week we will be writing our own entries for a class dictionary! Check out the games on mycity to start practising!
