Year 1/2

Writing – We’ve been learning how to use talking marks in our writing to show when characters are speaking. The students have had fun adding dialogue to their stories and practising how to punctuate speech correctly.

Maths – This week, the students have been revising how to tell the time using both analogue and digital clocks.

Phonics – Our focus has been on homophones — words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings (like two, too, and to). The students have enjoyed using them in writing and spotting them in their reading too.

Sport – The students had lots of fun playing volleyball! They showed great energy and teamwork while practising their serving and rallying skills.

Art – To celebrate Halloween, the students loved creating their own haunted houses! They used a variety of materials and plenty of imagination to bring their spooky designs to life.
