Welcome to Year 1!

What a week! Year 6 Take Over day was a great way to end a fun and busy week. The children have worked incredibly hard in their phonics assessments, results will be sent out with reports at the end of term.

We have also been writing stories for our Eco Hero book, an email should have been sent out earlier this week explaining more about the book. I completely forgot to send the form home today - if you would like to pre-order our class book, please follow the link (Pre-Order Copies of Your Class’ Book - OurClassBook) and use the book id '109140'.

Maths:

This week we have been exploring place value to 100, mainly partitioning numbers into tens and ones.

Writing:

We have been working in groups to write a short story about an eco hero, superheroes who use their powers to save the planet.

Reading:

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

Big Picture:

This week we have been doing some Geography. We have been looking at our local community (White Waltham) and our larger county (Berkshire). We have made maps of White Waltham ready for our upcoming D+T project.

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In PSHE this week we explored how our body feels when it is calm and what helps us to feel this way.

In RE, we learned about the Golden Rule - treat others as you would like to be treated.

PE days:

Monday and Wednesday.
