Fen Street Year 1 Latest News

Year One have been busy practising for Brookfest this week, everyone is so excited! The songs that we will be performing are:

Robbie Williams – I love my life

The King and I – Getting to know you

Jess Glynne – Hold my hand

Please practise the songs at home with your child! (:

We have been learning to tell the time in Year One this week. Try practising o’clock and half past with your child at home.

Thank you to all of the parents who stayed this morning for our first ever Soft Start! The children really thrived on working with their parents and everyone was in a high learning zone. If you didn’t have a chance to stay, we will be holding Soft Start sessions to boost your child’s phonics skills every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 8:30am – 9am. These will be on every week until the phonics check in June.

Thank you to all the parents who attended the parents phonics check meeting, it was great to see you all and share your child’s progress so far. As promised, below is the link for a brilliant website that allows you to print resources that you can use at home for free! Your child will need to know all of the sounds up to phase 5 for the phonics screening, please ask your child’s teacher if you are unsure which phase your child is currently working on. Once you are on the website, scroll down to find the link ‘Phase 5 Resources’. If you are unable to print off these resources, please let your child’s teacher know.

Thank you for your support!

In Year One, we love to celebrate our own and others successes! The children have responded well to having a weekly celebration assembly within our classes. The children are given the opportunity to tell others what they have done that week that makes them feel proud and a some children are even presented with certificates that celebrate an achievement.

Well done to the children awarded with certificates this week!

1b had a fantastic first day back, the children shared their home learning and we learned new facts about the oceans and sea creatures. In the afternoon, we learned jellyfish facts and made our own!
