Thank you!

Wow- what a busy week after a few days off from the snow! We spent Monday finishing off our plant paintings and fact sheets. We think you'll be impressed by the creative designs! Over the next two weeks we are also all taking part in painting our baby hare (known as a leveret) which the children have named Hairy MacHarey!

In English this week we have been learning lots of facts about space! We have learnt things such as...

-The sun is a star and not a planet.

- Saturn has 7 rings made from ice and rock.

- Venus is the hottest planet.

Each child has made a Space Facts books!

As part of your home learning (and to go alongside the Big Talk) you could ask the children what they have learnt this week about space. There are some lovely websites with lots of information on about our solar system. Can they find out about any of the other planets? 

In Maths this week we have been learning about time. We have recapped on days of the week and measures of time and been learning about clocks. We have each made a clock and talked about the different features. We have been learning to tell the time to o'clock and drawing the hands on to clocks. As part of your home learning you can encourage your child to talk about the different things they do and the times they do them. They could even practice telling the time using their clocks (we will send these home at the end of the week!). We have been using the words clockwise, hands, o'clock, clock face. 

Please remember to send PE kits in for dance every Tuesday- especially those doing sporting after school clubs.

Please remember to read as often as possible at home. We have seen such a great improvement since the start of year 1 and the children are always excited to learn new words and change book bands!
