In the past week Chestnut class:
Phonics We have been looking at the following sounds: ou oy oor We have also been extremely busy assessing children's phonics progress. Many children are making tremendous progress due to the home reading they are doing on a daily basis. Maths We concluded our work on addition and subtraction this week and will be starting a new unit on Shape. Wider Curriculum PSHE Anti-Bullying Week We have discussed with the children how to report bullying and also how to deal with behaviour we are uncomfortable with using ABC! Ask them to stop! But if the don't, Call an adult! Geography We started our unit of work on the local area and have enjoyed using google maps to find our houses and identify human and physical features of the environment. Children recorded in the form of a tally chart the different sort of houses found on Exeter Street. Have a good week! Mrs Budiman The Week Ahead in Chestnut Class!
Phonics We will be reviewing the graphemes and phonemes: oo (short vowel sound) ar or air ir Please see the link below, children can watch these links to consolidate their learning: https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/YGDUrbC3/QK0SMb8r https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/1JS0GP5K/BPdotPAa https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/rB9aIuZi/jMnCvkfw https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/Hun34H7Q/PcZsX4kd https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/oerfjHyq/obb5aHsx https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/fUz2Gmox/bTXplsIA https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/1eGrio6w/IeWjAafK https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/y9ytIpga/7AVCkpB1 https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/Zr5w4eqm/M9HAi9oc https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/EUadQCrD/EavdpsHK Literacy Over the coming weeks we will be once again focussing on poetry. This week we will be practising using alliteration and rhyme to create stanza for our own poems. Reading The children are beginning to master their use of phonics in reading. By Christmas, we would normally expect to see children reading within blue band. Book bands follow this order: Pink Red Yellow Blue Green Orange Turquoise By the end of the year we would hope children were reading Orange or Turquoise. If your child is reading below Blue band be sure to read with them every night for at least 5 minutes. It will and does make all the difference! Maths We continue our work on addition and subtraction to 10. We will explore this through the use of part whole models, number sentence work and consolidation of the use of the symbols for addition, subtraction and equals. Here are some useful videos on White Rose should you wish to dive deeper! https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/week-8-number-addition-subtraction/ RE This week we will be trying to answer the question 'What do Christians believe God is like?' by exploring parables like the The Lost Son and searching for their meaning. Have a great week! Mrs Budiman Like The Week Ahead in Chestnut Class!

This is a non-fiction text and we will be exploring its features and then trying write some pages of our own about the history of our school. Reading I have noticed some children are not reading at home. Reading at home is part of Year 1 homework and is an expectation. Please remember to read with your child everyday on a weekday for 5 minutes. This is absolutely crucial to progress especially at this time when we don't have volunteer readers. Maths We finish our work with Number and place value this week and will be consolidating these facts. Homework Challenge Can you take a trip to the Church to have a look around? Can you spot any symbols of Christianity like the Cross or Fish (Icthus)? Can you find the font where babies are christened? Where do you think people stand when they get married and take their vows? Can you remember what some of those vows mean to Christians? Draw some pictures and label them clearly! RE In RE this week we are looking at what communities we belong to and noting how different faith communities show they belong through symbols and actions. We take a close look at the story of 'The Lost Sheep' and try to find its meaning in the context of Christianity. We look at how Christians welcome new members into their faith and how Christians show their love for someone when they get married. We compare some of these symbols and actions with those found in the Jewish faith. The Week Ahead in Chestnut Class!

Welcome back to school! Chestnut Class will be returning to normal as soon as possible. Myself and Miss Heffer are looking forward to having you back in the classroom. Our topic this term will be Local History. Our typical day will start with Phonics followed by Maths and Literacy with wider curriculum subjects covered in the afternoon. This week we will be focussing on PSHE topics that will help children to settle into school, establish class rules and good hygiene levels during this difficult time. Please ensure your child brings a pencil case with relevant equipment, a water bottle, warm clothing and spare clothes. Children can wear their PE kit (wear jogging pants) to school on PE days (Thursday). Lunches can be booked via the Gateway App. I look forward to seeing you all! Mrs Budiman Chestnut Class is the Year 1 Class at North Tawton Community Primary School. The children are taught by Mrs Budiman and supported in their learning by Miss Heffer and Christine Jelley.
