Welcome to Year 1!

The children had a great time during our Great Fire of London workshop on Tuesday, I hope you enjoyed the bag of 17th Century goodies they brought home!!

Maths:

This week we have been learning about 2D shapes and their properties. The children have done amazingly this week with their knowledge and looking for 2D objects in our classroom.

Writing:

This week we have been reading the story 'Stickman' and planning our won story to begin writing next week. We have learned actions to our story to support our writing, and learned how to create 'story maps' which again supports our writing.

Science:

We have been thinking about suitability of materials this week. Debating if we would like a jumper made of metal, or a spoon made of glass. The children did really well using our scientific vocabulary to discuss the properties of various materials and why they are suitable or not for objects.

Big Picture:

The workshop on Monday really supported our understanding of what life was like in the 17th Century, and how the fire impacted people at this time. The children have applied their knowledge from this to complete our work thinking about the most significant reasons for the fire spreading so quickly.

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In RE we have continued to explore the importance of Christmas to Christians and how we celebrate.

In PSHE we continued thinking about how we connect to others and how we can be a good friend. As we are all getting a bit tired and poorly at this point in the term, we've been finding that our friendships and become a bit more tricky.
