Welcome to Year 1!

What a great week! 

The children have worked super hard this week at learning our new routines in year 1. A massive well done to everyone :)

Maths:

We have been learning to use our online maths platform 'Magma', which we use to answer questions. The children all completed a baseline assessment on Place Value, ready to start our learning next week.

Writing:

We used the story 'Little Red Riding Hood' as inspiration for our writing. We have planned a setting description, so that we are ready to start writing on Monday!

Phonics:

This week we have revised some set 2 sounds - ay, ee and igh.

Reading:

All the children chose a book from our library to take home as their 'Reading Routes' book. Remember to write in their reading records if you have read and/or finished the book (and the genre!) so they can receive a stamp. These books will be changed on Friday, if they have books at home they are reading they don't always need to take a library book unless they want to! 

I will try my hardest to get phonics books out next week, apologies as the assessments are taking a while!!

Science:

Today we explored different materials. We learned that all objects are made of materials and sorted these into categories.

Big Picture:

Our first topic is on art, we have been learning about cubism and Pablo Picasso. This week the children have explored using different shapes and colours to create abstract portraits.
