Welcome to Year 1!

Sorry for such a long delay in updating our class page - we have been having some laptop issues and this is my first week being able to get on! I am still having some battles with uploading pictures... so please bear with as we have LOADS from all the exciting things we have done so far this term!

Next week is our STEM week - please send in any empty egg boxes on Monday or Tuesday :)

Maths:

We finished off our unit on place value to 50 - keep practising writing numbers at home!!

Writing:

We are writing our book 'Arctic Animals', which is all about polar bear facts we have learned over the last few weeks.

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 - so far we have met the new staff members including Squeak the mouse and Stella the giraffe.

Big Picture:

Our school trip was so much fun this week and really helped our understanding of how the Inuits lived.

World Book Day:

We focused on the book 'The Snail and The Whale' by Julia Donaldson, exploring how she uses rhyme and alliteration in her writing. We then wrote character descriptions for the snail and the whale, and illustrated them using water colours in the style of Axel Scheffer to make our own big class book to share with the rest of KS1 next week.

PE days:

Monday and Wednesday.
