KS1 & KS2 at The Bridge
Key Stage 1 Class Spring Term
This half term our Key Stage 1 class will continue to work on their phonics. This will really help us with our reading and writing skills.
We will be learning about money and all the different coins that we use in the UK. Hopefully we will be able to go to the shops to practise what we have learnt.
We have an exciting treat in February where we will have a visitor from “Food for thought” and we will be taking part in some sessions called “Grow with Us”.
Our Theme for the first half term is The Rainforest – we have already started learning about what a rainforest is and have found it very interesting.
Our favourite game to play is still UNO!
Keep checking back here for more information and updates on our learning.
Key Stage 1 Class Autumn Term
Our Key Stage 1 class have been been working hard in phonics and practising our pencil control. We have been having lots of fun finding different things to write in including rice, playdough and shaving foam.
We have been improving our addition and subtraction skills in Maths and using a number line to count on and count back.
We have been busying getting used to using a laptop and a tracker pad and enjoyed using Scratch Jr to program our own interactive stories.
In Theme we have been using colourful semantics to write some sentences about World War 1.
Our favourite game to play is UNO!
