Welcome to Year 1!

The children have been amazing this week while I have been helping the year 6s with their SATs. They have been working hard with Mrs Healy and coped really well with changes to our usual routine!

Maths:

This week we have started our new unit on fractions. This week we have been looking at recognising and finding a half of objects and quantities.

Writing:

We continued with our book 'The Little Elves' this week. We wrote our first 2 sentences with some amazing handwriting!

Reading:

'Hotel Flamingo' was such a hit, we are reading the second book! This one is called 'Hotel Flamingo - Holiday Heatwave'. The hotel have made lots of changes to accommodate the King and Queen penguin but other guests are not happy!

Big Picture:

This week we started our music unit and have been learning how to play the recorder! We learned the parts of the recorder, as well as notes B and A. 

Science:

This week we explored how we keep our bodies healthy through food, sleep and exercise. We thought about a balanced diet, as well as how to move our bodies - this tied in well with Mental Health week.

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In PSHE this week we went outside to explore the plants around us, how these survive and how we are responsible for them.

In RE, we explored some things that are forbidden on Shabbat - including doing homework, electronics and driving!!

PE days:

Monday and Wednesday.
