Llongyfachiadau!

This week in Year 1 and 2, we have been continuing to work on number bonds and using what we know to add numbers. We have practised putting big numbers in our heads and counting on to find answers, which has been tricky! We have also challenged ourselves to use fact families to switch number sentences and find take away sums too. 

This week we have read the story "All Ways to be Smart". We have explored all of the talents and qualities that we have to be smart - kindness, number work, crafting, keeping fit... there were so many lovely examples! Next week we are going to think about our dreams and aspirations for the future. What would you like to be when you grow up? 

Our inquiry work has led us to drawing portraits of friends and finding out what is similar and different in each other. A great big thank you to Kinetic who came in to see us today too - we really enjoyed their workshop!

Our work on phonics and reading has also continued. There are now lots of things on the Google Classroom to use at home and in school to practise reading and spelling tricky words. Have a go! Please remember the Shwmae Day Challenge too, all available on the Google Classroom - we can't wait to see your Welsh conversations and greetings!

Have a great weekend all, 

The Year 1/2 Team
