What do you need for a poorly piggy?

Oink-ment! 😁


This week in English our text has been The Three Little Pigs. We have read different versions and compared them. The children have enjoyed joining in with the story. (They are wonderful Big Bad Wolves!) The children have thought about the main events and how to order these. 

In Maths we are exploring how to add and take-away. We learnt how to use a number line to count on and back. We are learning how to solve missing number problems. 

It is our Year One Maths event on Monday morning in the hall. We hope to see you there. 

FOGG are running a film club on Friday 25th January starting at 3pm in the school hall. If your child would like to attend to watch Sing tickets cost £5 and this includes popcorn and a drink. Please see a member of staff to fill in a form.

Wk 14th January

This week in English we have had a little visitor... it was an elf! We read the story of The Elves and the Shoemaker. The children talked about the new language and vocabulary including the time words such as first, later, dawn, dusk, finally etc. 

Today we got two tiny letters. Mrs Prophet's class got a tiny letter from Eric the Elf and Mrs B's class got a tiny letter from Elsie the Elf. We have begun to write letters back to them suggesting what adventure they could have next. 

We read Mrs B's very old book of The Elves and the Shoemaker story. We liked the little hats they had on!


Some children have begun to design their own shoes and label these. 

In maths we have been looking at Dienes blocks (tens and ones!) and ten frames. These resources are great for the children to handle and use to explore different mathematical concepts. 

Photos please!

In each of our classrooms we have a display board that has a map of the United Kingdom 

If you go anywhere interesting in Norwich or Norfolk (or further afield), please share some photos with us so we can add them to our UK display boards in class! These can be given to a member of staff or emailed to garrickgreenyear1@gmail.com.

We hope your 2019 has been happy and healthy so far. The Year Ones have begun their new topic for the Spring Term: Off With Their Heads! They will be learning about castles.

FOGG Film Club

The Friends of Garrick Green are running a film club on Friday 25th January from 3 until 5.10. They are showing Sing. It costs £5 per child and this includes a drink and a snack. 

If you would like a letter, then do ask a member of the Year One team for a copy. 

e-safety

The children have been learning about staying safe online all year. This week we shared a book about not giving out your password to others. The children have been busy designing posters to show Mrs Dewing about our learning. We wonder if she might have a favourite one... !

We hope you are able to join us for one of our internet safety sessions. 
There are two sessions and you are welcome to attend either-

Tuesday 15th January 7 pm at Garrick Green Infant School
Thursday 24th January 9 am at Lodge Lane Infant School
 If you need another copy of the letter, please ask. 

 



In Maths we have been using different resources, models and images to support us in our learning. 



In English we have been learning about the story of Hansel and Gretel. The children worked in groups to make and follow trails outside. We had such good fun and there was lots of use of language to solve problems and negotiate. 

The children have designed and labelled their own gingerbread houses. 






The library van will be here on Wednesday 16th January so please remember your library cards and any books that need to be returned. 

These are the easiest ones from a past paper!

Phonics Check WordsWe will be sending home some words for your child to practise reading real and nonby using their phonic knowledge (sound them out and blend them to read the word!).

Look out for these in their book bags soon.
