Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

What a fun week! We had a drama day on Tuesday, where we dove into the story of Oliver and did activities including 'Fagin's Den', steal the keys, and becoming the characters in the story.

We also had a visit from the ambulance service today! It was super fun to explore the ambulance and learn CPR!

As we have been so busy, we didn't have time for our Celebration Assembly today. We will be doing this on Monday instead!

This week we completed our money unit, exploring coins and notes. We also started looking at days of the week and months of the year.

 

Writing:

We completed our books, 'Helping Hedgehogs', our last writing piece in Year 1!

 

Reading:

'Hotel Flamingo' was such a hit, we are reading the third book now! This one is called 'Carnival Caper'.

 

Big Picture:

We have slowly been starting our D+T project, looking at structures and buildings and deciding which ones to recreate from White Waltham. 


Science:

We have started an investigation exploring the effect of sun. We have used paper and a layer of 'clothes' to see what will change in the sun.

 

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In PSHE this week we have continued explore kindness and sun safety.

In RE, we explored do and don't rules, and which we find more effective.
