Thank you to all the parents who came to our Phonics Workshops. We hope you found them useful. At the bottom of this page there is a copy of the Powerpoint we went through. During our phonics lessons this week we have focused on learning the following phonemes - 

/igh/ spelt ie e.g. tried, pie
/yoo/ spelt u e.g. unicorn, unit
/ur/ spelt ir e.g. bird, third
/oo/yoo/ spelt ue e.g. true, rescue. 

In Maths, we completed our place value to 10 topic and started our addition and subtraction up to 10 topic. The children were introduced to the part whole model. Next week we will begin learning our number bonds up to 10. 

In our Celebration of the Word, the children started their Rosary Challenge to celebrate October being the month of the Rosary. Next week, the children will join together as a year group to celebrate.

The children have continued to settle into the Year 1 routine well. This week we have started learning the Phase 5 phonemes in Phonics - 'ai' spelt 'ay' for example play, stay, stray, 'oi' spelt 'oy' for example boy, annoy, toy, 'ow' spelt 'ou' for example cloud, loud, proud and 'ee' spelt 'ea' for example read, sea, plead. 

In Science the children have been learning about our sense sight. The children enjoyed playing a game where they had to look at which object had been taken away. 

This week we also celebrated the Feast of St John. We celebrated together with Year 2.
