Welcome to Year 1!

Another great week in Year 1, we welcomed in our class elves Boots and Pip who haven't caused too much chaos yet... It has been so fin to hear about all the mischief the elves are causing at home though!

A few reminders - morning snacks should be something healthy (fruit/veg, yoghurt, cheese, breakfast bar), PE kit should only be worn on a Monday and Wednesday.

Maths:

This week we have been learning about 3D shapes and their properties. This is a tricky concept but the children have enjoyed exploring and sorting 3D shapes.

Writing:

We wrote our first two sentences: 'Stickman saw a fluffy dog in the park.' and 'Stickman saw a tall girl by the river.' The children have done amazingly using their phonics to support their spellings.

Science:

This week we have learned about where materials come from: glass comes from heating up sand, plastic comes from oil, and metal comes from mining rocks!

Big Picture:

We have started our last topic for the term: Music. We learned the song 'Here in Pudding Lane' and explored using body percussion to accompany the song.

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In RE we have continued to explore the importance of Christmas to Christians and how we celebrate. This week we made our own Advent Wreaths, with the 5 candles representing love, peace, hope, joy and Jesus.

In PSHE we have been exploring our emotions, how things make us feel and why. We drew 3 things that make us happy and shared them with the class.
