Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

Happy Easter! Such a fantastic end of term do do our amazing dance yesterday, thank you to everyone who came to watch :) When we return in April, we will be moving onto our next topic 'Our Community'. Our first few immersion days will be looking at Florence Nightingale and we are having an in-school workshop on Tuesday 14th April. The children can come dressed up on the Monday and Tuesday if they would like to, or just one day! They can dress as Florence Nightingale or a Crimean War Soldier.

Thank you for my yummy chocolate and cards, hope you all have a lovely Easter!

 

Maths:

This week we have done some recapping on place value to 50 and partitioning our numbers, as well as our end of unit assessment for mass and volume.

 

Writing:

We completed and edited our 'Museum Treasures' books, it has been great to write some longer and more challenging sentences.

 

Reading:

We continued our chapter book 'Hotel Flamingo'. It is a longer book than we have read previously, but we are all excited to meet the animals in the hotel. We ran out of time to finish our book this week! But will read the final chapter when we are back.

 

Big Picture:

This week we painted our clay masks, which look fantastic (still struggling with photos so will put them on as soon as possible)! We also did some music, focusing on Inuit throat singing.

 

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In PSHE this week we spent more time looking at how we feel when we have a falling out with a friend, including good ways to find solutions.

In RE, we have been learning about how Jesus brings peace. We thought where we can find peace and friendship around school.

PE days:

Monday and Wednesday.
