Welcome to Year 1!

It was lovely to see so many of you at Parents Evening this week - if you weren't able to make it, please contact the office and they will be able to set something up in the next few weeks! The children have had a great first week back and been working hard.

Maths:

We have moved onto subtraction this week, initially within 10, and then moving to within 20. We have used resources such as cubes, tens frames and number lines to support us with this.

Writing:

We have started our next writing unit, using 'The Jolly Postman' as our inspiration. We explored the book before coming up with our own ideas where the postman could go, which we will begin writing next week.

Science:

This week, we have gone back to materials! We recapped the difference between materials and objects, and discussed different properties. We then began thinking about waterproof materials, and made predictions to explore next week!

Big Picture:

Our focus for the next 2 weeks is on Geography. We are thinking about the United Kingdom. This week we learned about the countries and flags in the UK, surrounding seas and points of a compass.

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In RE we have been learning about the story of Jesus, and thinking about why Christmas is important to Christians. We discussed where Jesus was born, and then created our own versions of bedrooms for him.

In PSHE we explored different emotions. Thinking about how different situations make us feel, and how our bodies react to different emotions (sad, angry, nervous, happy)

Spelling words:

PE days:

Monday and Wednesday.
