Hi Everyone, 

Welcome to the Year 1 class page at Knottyash  Primary. If you have any concerns or need assistance please contact me through the Seesaw family App.

Class Homework is available on Seesaw from 9am Monday Morning, each week. There will be both an English and Math Homework in addition to the Spellings of the week. These will be tested on Friday mornings. All children also have a Times Table Rockstars/ Numbots account to further their Mathematical thinking. Below are a selection of activities for you to access when your child is not in school.

If you are currently learning at home, you can send photographs and other content  to r.carson@knottyashprimary.co.uk and I'll add it to this page.

Many Thanks

Mrs O'Hanlon

Year 1 are practising counting up to 100. We have also been learning to count in 2's and have begun learning to count in 10's; please see Seesaw activities/ homework. The children have been thinking about the Paper Bag Princess this week and how her feelings changed towards Prince Ronald. At the end of the week we will be writing a letter to Prince Ronald to say we won't be marrying him anymore. We will also be going over some of our sounds; namely g, o, c, k, ck. We will be writing them with correct letter formation and practising blending them together to read and segmenting them to write. We are also learning about castle language, construction and how they've changed over time.
