Week ending 4th Oct 2019

Hello Year One,
We have had a fantastic week and lots of fun! On Tuesday we had a visit from 'Perform For Schools.' The children enjoyed the drama and were all involved in the action.



Today we had our visit to Christ Church for a harvest experience morning. The children had 6 different experiences ranging from 'Harvest in the Sea' to 'The Harvest Garden'. Here are some pictures from the session:







NEXT WEEK

MATHS:
The children will be representing numbers to 10 in many ways by regrouping. They will be matching values to mathematical models and finding missing parts of a whole.

ENGLISH:
We will be creating stories using storyboards. The children will be talking to an audience about their pets. This will be followed by report writing about pets and creating lists of what pets need.

SCIENCE:
We begin to look at the human body and the children will identify and label parts of the body.

HISTORY:
As we continue our learning about toys from the past the children will identify and sort old and new toys.

ART:
We have been looking at the work of LS Lowry and the children have begun to represent his matchstick men in their sketch books. Next week we will be creating a large representation of Lowry's work using charcoal. This will be a whole class project.

RE:
We will be reflecting on our harvest experience morning and the children will write about the meaning of harvest.

PSHE:
Next week's session will focus on rights and responsibilities at school.

Please ensure that your child has a PE kit in school every day. Remember to bring their reading books and reading records to school in their book bag every day. They do not need extra bags with them especially as we have limited space in our cloakroom area.

On Friday morning we are celebrating Harvest Festival at school. Our class have the 9.30-10am slot. It would be lovely to see you there. As you are donating cakes if your child have an allergy please bring something appropriate (and clearly labelled) for them to eat.

Next week we will be making a book about pets. Please send a photo of a pet in with your child on Monday if you haven't already done so. If you do not have a pet maybe you can use a photo of a pet your child would like to have.

Have a great weekend
Ms Davis and Mrs Reusch
