Noticeboard

Please could you start sending in boxes (cereal, toothpaste, delivery etc.) for our mini project where as a year group we shall create a model of Henleaze. We need a range of different sized boxes. We will be starting our models in Week 6.

• Thank you for the offers of help for our Theatre trip in the last week of term. We will let you know next week if your help is needed this time. Thank you.
• You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions. 
• We would like you to support your child to hold their pencil correctly when they are using them at home. Children should be using a tripod grip. Click here to see a BBC Bitesize video about how to hold a pencil.
• We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.

Being able to instantly recall number bonds to 10 and 20 is a really important skill to have and is a key part of the year 1 curriculum. There are a number of games that you can play at home such as:

• Ping pong number bonds (you say a number and your child responds with the missing bond to 10 or 20 (whichever you are doing). The game goes back and forth like a game of ping pong!
• Quickfire questions
• Home-made snap (the numbers have to make the number bond to be a ‘snap’ pair)
