Our First Week in Robins!
We have had a wonderful first week in Robins! Starting a new school year can feel like a big jump, especially for our Year 1s, but they have tackled it brilliantly. Everyone is beginning to get the hang of our classroom routines, and we are so proud of how they’ve settled in.
In English, we’ve begun our writing with a focus on the basics: using capital letters to start sentences and full stops to show the end of an idea. These are really important skills to master, and the children are making great progress. As we move into week 2, we’ll be exploring colours and working on using exciting vocabulary to make our writing even more descriptive.
In Maths, Year 1 have been exploring numbers from 1–20. They’ve been helping us outsmart our ‘cheeky turtle,’ who sometimes muddles the numbers or sneaks them away from our number line! The children have also started to recognise how numbers are made up of tens and ones, such as seeing that 12 is made from 10 and 2.
In Year 2 Maths, we’ve been developing our understanding of place value up to 100. We’ve practised recognising which numbers are tens and which are ones—for example, 43 is made of 40 (4 tens) and 3. We’ve also been working on writing numbers to 100 as words. If your child would like to keep practising this at home, we would love to see their efforts!
In Science, we’ve started exploring a variety of everyday materials. The children have enjoyed investigating how we can group them based on their properties, such as bendy, stretchy, soft, or hard.
It has been a busy week and a bit, and we can tell everyone is starting to feel a little tired—but the children are doing a truly wonderful job. We are very proud of them all!
