For the Big Write on Wednesday 15th January Year 1 will be writing all about Winter. Our science lessons on Monday and Tuesday afternoon will be all about Winter so hopefully Y1 will have a good understanding. Please can you discuss Winter with your child (what the weather is like, what you would wear, any important celebrations, how the length of the day changes, what animals do, what activities you might do, what food/drink you might have). We would also like children to compare Winter to other seasons so they can use the suffix er/est. For example: Winter is the coldEST seasion or Winter is coldER than spring. Any help with thinking of these sentences would be appreciated. COMPLETION DATE: 15.01.25
