Welcome to Evenlode Class (Year One)
Weekly update 01.10.21
Hello everyone,
We have had a fantastic week in Year 1. The children have been very busy and it has been great to see them getting in to the swing of things in class. Our writing has seen us focus on using onomatopoeia in our sentences and I have been blown away by some of the writing the children are already producing. Have a look at a few examples below.

The children have really impressed me with their PE skills already this term, they have remembered lots of the skills we learnt last half term. Today we took part in our first Interhouse competition and the children were very excited. It was great to see them cheering each other on and playing some competitive sport so brilliantly. Check out some pictures below.

Our math's has seen us focus on the > and < symbols and what they mean as well as practicing writing numbers as words. It has been quite challenging but we have enjoyed tackling it together. We have also been working hard on our Harvest ideas and the children have enjoyed learning what Harvest means and thinking about their favourite fruits.
Finally 3 things to ask your child this weekend:-
- Can they think of any words beginning with 'w'?
- Can they name 3 fruits or vegetables that are Harvested?
- is 15 greater than or less than 10?
Hope you all have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Ballard.

Hello everyone,
Welcome back to our weekly update. We have been incredibly busy this week and have started our new book "The Train Ride" by June Crebbin. We went on a train ride around school, made train tickets and wrote the start to our own story.

We have been busy learning about how to find 1 more or less of numbers to 20 using 10's frames and Numicon. The children remembered the principle well and I even had some of the children set me challenges making their own number robots for me to try.

We have also enjoyed exploring lots of different ways of throwing and catching in PE. We have recapped our set 1 sounds in phonics and have started thinking about pre cursive handwriting during these sessions. Our science this term is focusing on forces and the children enjoyed exploring what forces they were using when playing with some of their favourite toys.
I hope you have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Ballard.

Phonics
At Appleton, we use Read Write Inc to teach phonics. This is a DfE-validated systematic synthetic phonics programme with a whole school approach to teaching early reading and writing. Children learn to read sounds and blend them into words. They apply this phonics knowledge to read and comprehend storybooks that are carefully matched to the sounds they know. Children learn to read these books with a storyteller’s voice.
