Year 1
Welcome to Year 1!
Quite a chatty start to our week, but the children have done a great job at turning it around and really improving their listening as the week has gone on :)
PE will be Monday only next week due to our Nativity show on Wednesday.
If possible, please can the children bring in a small/medium teddy and a plastic bag (or 2 that can be chopped) in by Friday - we are making our own waterproof (hopefully) coats for our teddy bears!
Maths:
This week we have been exploring missing number problems in addition questions. We have used part-whole models and number lines to help us find the answers to questions such as: ? + 4 = 12 and 5 + ? = 9.
Writing:
We have written our first two pages of our book this week - 'The Jolly Postman saw a farm' and 'He saw a bird'. The children have been working hard to orally rehearse our sentences, focus on punctuation, and use their phonics to spell.
Science:
We had a fun day today exploring waterproof materials! We conducted a fair test using fabric, plastic, paper and tin foil. It was interesting to see and explore how different materials interact with water - we were all happy that our coats weren't made out of paper today! We are hoping to make our own 'raincoats' for our own teddy bears next week, so please send in small/medium teddys and plastic bags :)
Big Picture:
This week we have learned about capital cities in the UK, and learned a lot about London landmarks.
RE and PSHE/P4C:
In RE we have been learning about the story of Jesus, this time listening and exploring the Gospel of Luke. Next week we will be watching a Nativity show, which will support our learning.
