Welcome to Year 1!

Our learning last week (24th March-28th March):

English

This week we have completed our unit final unit of writing on The Bog Baby which were instructions explaining how to make as habitat for our mysterious creatures. Our creatures included unicorns, pond fairies, lava sharks and many more! We structured our instructions with a heading, introduction, what you need section, what to do section and a top tip at the end.

Maths

This week we have finished our unit of work on mass and volume. We focussed on measuring capacity and used water to test out how big containers in our classroom were. We finished with an end of unit assessment to test all of our new knowledge.

Music

We have finished our music topic by practising some Inuit throat singing. We had so much fun practising in pairs and then having 'competitions' to see who could last the longest without laughing or running out of breath. Inuit women traditionally used throat singing as a form of entertainment when the men were out hunting and to soothe their babies.

RE

In RE this week, we reviewed all the donations we have to give to 'The Cowshed'. Mrs Strong will visit the donations centre over the Easter break to give all the donations, thank you to everyone who contributed!

PE

In PE this week we have focussed on our teamwork and communication skills. We played paired games whilst blindfolded to explain how to retrieve items whilst on the playground. In hockey, we continued focussing on push passes.
