This week, the children have been continuing in their phonics groups and most children have now moved onto learning Set 3 sounds. 

We have been working hard on writing simple, clear sentences with a capital letter, full stop and finger spaces and have been very impressed with how the children are applying what they have learnt in handwriting in their writing and phonics lessons. 

As part of our 1960s topic, we looked at maps of Farsley from 1957 all the way up to the presetn days and noted the changes we could see on the maps. We discussed that 70 years ago, Farsley had fewer houses and more fields but that nowadasy farsley has more houses, roads and people. We then went on a short walk around Farsley using our maps and thinking about what it would've been like in the past. 

In Computing, we finished our online safety unit by learning about passwords and how they keep our information safe. We talked about how a password is like a key and discussed what makes a good password. Next half-term, the children will begin using their very own passwords to log in to the chromebooks. 

In Maths, we continued learning about addition and subtraction, specifically looking at number bonds to and within 10. We looked at how to find number bonds systematically (in a pattern) to make sure we find them all. 

Another busy week, filled with learning and fun! Well done Year 1.
