Welcome to Year 1!

What an exciting week! We loved visiting Bisham to see the Wintershall Travelling Nativity, and creating our own waterproof coats for our teddies - look on the pictures page to see what we have been up to!

On Monday 24th November, we have our in-school workshop about The Great Fire of London (they don't need anything extra, just themselves!!). Due to this, PE will be on Wednesday ONLY.

Maths:

We finished off our unit on addition and subtraction this week. We revised some tricky questions and completed our end of unit assessment on Magma.

Writing:

We have written our final two pages of our book this week - 'He saw a big pond' and 'He saw a party'. The children have been working hard to orally rehearse our sentences, focus on punctuation, and use their phonics to spell.

Science:

Our morning on Friday was filled with creative excitement! All the children crafted their own waterproof coats for their teddy bears, we didn't test them in school just in case... but they have come home if you want to make it rain!! Apologies for the copious amounts of tape...

Big Picture:

We began our History topic this week, learning about The Great Fire of London. We learned that it happened in 1666 and the fire started from a bakery on Pudding Lane. The children have loved playing this game and asked for it to be put on here to play at home: Game - The Great Fire of London

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In RE we have continued learning about the story of the birth of Jesus, seeing the travelling Nativity really helped our understanding.

In PSHE we have been 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. We will continue with this next week as well.
