Welcome to Year 1!

Well done to everyone today who had their flu spray, they were very brave :)

Next week notices: Individual and sibling photos on Thursday 2nd October.

Maths:

This week we have been doing one less and one more, using our number lines 0-10 to help us. We have played games by rolling dice and then writing our number one less or more! We have also been doing more questions on Magma Maths. Keep practising those numbers 0-10!

Writing:

We have started our character description on 'The Big, Bad Wolf' this week. We created our class plan, and learned our story with actions. After that, we made our front covers and wrote our first page : The wolf had white and dangerous teeth.

Phonics:

This week we have revised some set 2 sounds - or (as in sport), air (as in fair), ir (as in girl) and ou (as in out).

Reading:

Everyone now has their phonics books, these will be changed on a Monday and Thursday (they must have been read 3 times). Lots of the books may have been read before, but this is good revision and hopefully they can move through them quickly! Library books must be returned before they can take another, these can be returned on Friday :) please also remember to write the genre you are reading!!

Science:

Building on our learning from last week, we explored sorting materials based on their properties. We spoke about things being smooth or rough, hard or soft, as well as grouping things that are shiny or waterproof. The children have been working hard on incorporating our new words 'opaque' and 'transparent' into these conversations.

Big Picture:

This has been our final week of Picasso inspired art! We drew and painted our own portraits, we are just finishing off adding final finishing touches before we put pictures on here for you all to see!

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In RE we learned that everything has a creator, they bring things into existence. We also 'created' our own pictures and discussed how we felt about what we had made. This made us think about how other creators feel, and how it might affect them if it was ruined.

In PSHE we explored how we keep ourselves healthy, how adults keep us safe and ways we can keep ourselves safe. We discussed different scenarios to explore these ideas.

Spelling words:

PE days:

Monday ONLY next week (Harvest Service on Wednesday).
