Year 1 Update – Week 35

Numbers can be added and subtracted

Next week we will revisit our maths learning so far in relation to four operations, focusing on addition and subtraction. The children will have the opportunity to engage in some real life addition and subtraction problem solving experiences where they can apply the strategies they have previously learnt. 

We will also be recapping on addition and subtraction strategies such as, known number facts, counting on and counting back, putting the biggest number first, fact families, doubles and near doubles.

Please help the children to complete the Mathletics tasks that have been assigned to your child. The children can also enjoy Maths Live and play other children live across the world.

Next week we will continue to focus on the comprehension key of determining importance. The children will be looking at various non-fiction texts linked to materials and learning how to sort information that they gain into “important” and “interesting” information. 

Next week during writer’s workshop we will be continuing to work on the use of the word “because” in our non-fiction sentence writing. 

Unit  6 Phonics:  Next week our final phonics unit will begin.
