Week beginning 20th May 2019

Hello Year One,


We had an exciting week as we went on another field study trip. The children have learned so much from the two trips and are able to identify some wild and cultivated plants now. They have also learned to identify trees by the shape of their leaves.


Thank you to all the family and friends that came on the trip with us.









We have continued to learn multiplication and the children know how to make an array now. In English the children have planned their own fairy story, using story mapping. They are excited to write their stories next week.


Next Week


Maths


Our focus will be number bonds to ten and twenty, finding maths in pictures and solving problems using multiplication.


English


The children will write their own fairy tale, using the story map they created this week. We will have a focus on phonics next week and will be reading and answering comprehension questions on two more traditional tales.


History


We will be looking at the life of Queen Victoria and how people lived in Victorian times.


RE


For the last week this term we will be looking at the Jewish holy book, The Torah. We will be finding out what this book means to Jewish people and why it is so important.


ART


The children will be printing with their hands next week. We will be carrying out various forms of printing after half term.
