Year One have settled in to the class routine with amazing enthusiasm.
They respond to the register twice daily in French, each child following
the one before in counting to ten. Shortly they will be doing numbers
to fifteen then to twenty, but we haven't told them yet!
PE happens on Mondays and Wednesdays although Action Track is occupying
the hall at present. Daily phonics and handwriting sessions are up and
running and once correct directionality of each letter is established
we will start teaching cursive writing, joining two letters at a time.
Targets have been set for "Vocabulary" in English, each child
being given a specific target. Once reached a second target will be applied
then later a third. All targets will of course run alongside all other
aspects of the English Curriculum.
We are finding out about Kenya this term and all children will be discovering
what they can about the country, then sharing these discoveries with other
class members. In science we are exploring "Ourselves" which
helps us discover what is good and not so good for us. We have already
found out that we use two senses whilst we sleep! We are finding out what
happens to us as the years pass. We are bringing photos in to class to
see some of the changes that have occurred already.
We are learning to count in twos, fives and tens in Maths. We will shortly
be able to understand why some numbers are never said, and why the numbers
have the same patterns at the end of them.
Year One need to bring their books into school every day as reading takes
place daily, and sometimes we have extra people in the class to help hear
more children read.
