Langar Church of England Primary School
Class 1’s Newsletter Summer Term 1
26th April 2024
Dear Parents / Carers,
This week has been another busy week!
We enjoyed welcoming Miss Marriott back into Class 1 on Monday, the children were happy to see her and she has got stuck in with everything we have been doing. Miss Marriott will remain with us until the end of the summer term, and her teaching commitment will increase over the time she is with us.
In English we have started to read the alternate example text for our story, Hermelin the detective mouse. We have been looking at missing capital letters and full stops, and identifying where they need to go.
In Maths, Year 1’s have been measuring the mass of objects using cubes, and learning about capacity and volume. Reception have continued to look at ways to make the number 9 and 10 (known as number bonds). eg 5+4=9 7+2=9 6+4=10 2+8=10
On Monday it was lovely to welcome you into school to view your child’s work.
On Tuesday we welcomed Mrs Scarborough into Class 1 to talk about plants as part of our science work. We enjoyed planting our own cornflour seeds, and are now waiting for them to grow.
We also enjoyed dressing in red and white to celebrate St George’s day.
In Geography this week we flew to another continet - Asia and to learn about the country China. It just so happened that Alden’s Grandma was over from China. So, on Wednesday she came in with Alden’s Mum and they taught us how to say some key phrases, and taught us how to write our numbers to 10.
In DT we have been making sculptures.
In History we have continued our work about Christopher Columbus. We found out it took him 5 weeks after sailing west, to discover an Island that he named San Salvador, now known as the Bahamas.
