Week beginning 3rd December 2018

Hello Year One,

We have had a busy week as we have been rehearsing for the Christmas Concert and continuing with our lessons. 

For English the children wrote some wonderful Winter poems, which will be on display in the class room next week.

We have been focusing on adding 3 numbers together to make ten in maths. The children began by using counters and ten squares and then record the results.

We had a fun geography lesson, as we turned the class room into a farm to role play how the seasons affect farming.

For science we looked at a video of what happens outside in Winter. The children were fascinated to find out how long some animals hibernate and how much slower their heart rate is during this time.

Next week we will be rehearsing for the Christmas Concert. We will be continuing with maths and English and we have one art lesson as the children will be creating Winter tree scenes.

We will be continuing with poetry for English and for maths the focus will be doubling and matching objects and dominoes to numbers.

The children enjoy reading to us as often as we are able to hear them, so could you all ensure that once you have read with your child at home and completed the reading record, that the book comes back to school the following day.

On Wednesday we will be having a full dress rehearsal, so if possible could the costumes be in school by then.

Some of the children are dressing up as animals for the Christmas Concert and we will paint their faces accordingly. If you do not wish your child to have his/her face painted (because of allergies) please let us know.

Each year we make a class Christmas hamper for a raffle prize at the fayre. Could you please send in an item to go into the hamper by Wednesday the 5th December. This can be anything such as chocolates, wine and biscuits.

Have a restful and happy weekend.

Ms Davis
