F/1 Classroom Newsletter
Our F/1 students have successfully completed their swimming lessons, with the final session focusing on Survival Swimming. Everyone should be very proud of the amazing progress they have made and the new skills they have developed. These are valuable skills that they can continue to use and practise over the summer months. Well done, everyone!
Phonics and Reading
In Phonics, we have been applying our spelling knowledge to both reading and writing. Students have enjoyed completing word hunts to discover new words containing the sounds we have been learning. We have also been reading and answering questions using words that include our known sounds, helping to build confidence and fluency.
In Reading, we have begun exploring fairy tales, focusing on identifying characters and settings. We have also been learning to break stories into three key parts: the beginning, middle and end.
Maths
In Maths, we have been exploring measurement, with a focus on measuring length. Students have been using informal units of measurement, such as their feet, hands and everyday classroom objects, to measure and compare the length of different items. We have been discovering that we can use lots of different things to measure!
