Our class poppy wreathes were taken to the New Romney celebrations on Sunday

 

Tuesday’s visit to the postbox

Posted on by year1

Friday 11th November

Dear Badger and Otter Parents and Carers,

We have had a busy start to Term Two, and the children have already produced some excellent work.

This term, as you know, we are reading the Jolly Postman. All of our literacy work is based on the story and over the last two weeks we have enjoyed learning how to write letter and postcards with descriptions and questions.

To make our learning fun and exciting it seemed right to include the opportunity to send real letters through the post!

On Tuesday 15th November we will be taking the children to post their very own letters in the letterbox in New Romney. We ask that on this day the children have a waterproof coat and sensible shoes – please provide wellies or boots if it is as wet as it has been this week!

Please record when the letter arrives at your house so that we can plot who’s arrives first!

Thank you so much for your continued support.

Kind Regards

Miss Common, Miss Neilly and the Year One Team

Teen numbers in Badgers Class

Posted on by year1

This week we are learning to use the terms ‘tens and ones’ by looking at teen numbers. We are working hard to say our words carefully, making sure we hear the difference between sixteen and sixty!

Last week we learnt how to count in tens up to 100, we made number lines using Numicon and practised writing numbers counting in tens.

You can have a go at making numbers using place value understanding here, remember to just tick the TU (tens and units) game!

If you want to try continuing work we looked at last week have a look at this scary ghost game where you have to count back in tens – remember to look at the first digit when counting in tens!
