Welcome to Year 1!

We really enjoyed celebrating 100 years of David Attenborough today! We watched some snippets of his documentaries on different habitats, before going outside to explore our school habitat and hunt for minibeasts! We then came back in and wrote about our favourite minibeasts.

If you have a recorder (instrument) at home, please bring it in for music on Monday!

Maths:

This week we have completed our multiplication and division unit. We looked at sharing and grouping as a way of dividing numbers before completing our end of unit assessment.

Writing:

We started writing our new book 'The Little Elves' this week. We read the book 'The Elves and the Shoemaker' before retelling the story and coming up with our own sentences.

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 have explored Beebots in computing. We learned how to make an algorithm to move the Beebot around a map, as well as how to debug and fix codes that are wrong.

Science:

This week we finally looked at our baby pictures which was so much fun to guess who's who! We then thought about growing up, comparing things we could do as a baby, as a toddler, now and as an adult.

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In PSHE this week we discussed our families and how are parents are responsible for us.

In RE, we learned about Synagogues. We explored special features inside them and what it means to the Jewish community.

PE days:

Monday and Wednesday.
