Year 1 Home Practice                                                                                                       9th October 2020

This week we have read Dogger by Shirley Hughes. The children have really enjoyed the story and created some fantastic pieces of work from it. Next week we are reading Black Dog by Levi Pinfold, a beautiful picture book about facing fears and overcoming worry.

In our Science this week we explored the science of smell and how we use our sense of smell to keep us safe. We have also started our new RE topic on Belonging and Baptism. The children have had some lovely ideas on belonging and family.

This week we have been learning new addition strategies and our number facts to 20. Have a go at completing the Sumdog challenges and keep a eye out for new challenges during the week.
