Welcome to Year 1!

Please remember to hand/send in baby photos before next Friday for us to use in our Science lesson :)

Maths:

This week we have been learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. We have done lots of practical activities to get us counting in larger numbers, rather than one by one.

Writing:

We started writing our book 'Florence Nightingale'. It has been great to see how much the children have remembered about her life and they have been super excited to write.

Reading:

'Hotel Flamingo' was such a hit, we are reading the second book! This one is called 'Hotel Flamingo - Holiday Heatwave'. The hotel is still busy preparing for a visit from Queen and King Penguin, including finding an iceberg!!

Big Picture:

This week we have started our art, exploring Chris Kenny's work using sticks and using our imagination to turn 'bow tie' pasta into pictures!

Science:

This week we conducted an investigation to explore if the oldest person is always the tallest. This involved measuring each other, and then comparing our heights and ages!

RE and PSHE/P4C:

In PSHE this week we discussed helpful and unhelpful thoughts. We thought about how we can tackle things we find difficult and think about them more positively.

In RE, we began thinking about Shabbat and how people have different days they find special. We discussed our favourite day of the week, and why, as well as the things we do on the weekend.

PE days:

Monday and Wednesday.
