Hello everyone,
We’ve had a very busy and
exciting week of learning in Year 1! The children have been working so hard –
well done everyone!
English
This week, the children have
been exploring the story Beegu by Alexis Deacon. They used adjectives to
describe Beegu’s appearance and discussed how she might have felt when her
spaceship crashed. They also practiced writing speech bubbles. Alongside this,
the children continued their daily phonics lessons, enjoyed three group reading
sessions with an adult, and began handwriting lessons focusing on correct
letter formation and pencil grip.
Maths
In Maths, the children have
been recognising numbers written as words, counting on from any number, and
finding 1 more and 1 less. They have also been practising forming numbers
correctly.
PSHE
The children created
beautiful drawings to represent the people and places that make them feel
special and safe.
Year 6 House Captain
On Thursday, the children
had fun visiting other classrooms to place their votes for the Year 6 House
Captain.
Next week
English
The children will explore the
story Alan’s Big Scary Teeth by Jarvis. They will use adjectives to describe
Alan, create wanted posters and make animal fact files.
Maths
We will compare groups by
matching, explore concepts like fewer, more, and the same, and compare numbers.
We’ll also continue practising how to form each number correctly
History
The children will be
learning about the toys their parents, carers, and grandparents played with
when they were children. If you could talk with your child about your favourite
toys from when you were young, it would be lovely for them to share what they
found out during the carpet time.
R.E
We will learn about
thankfulness and harvest traditions in preparation for Harvest festival.
PSHE
Continuing with our topic “Being Me in My
World,” the children will think about belonging to the Year 1 class community.
Reminders
Reading Books:
Please return all reading books and reading logs to school by Wednesday. Thank
you!
Tricky Words:
Your child has been given the tricky words we’ve been practising this week. It
would be wonderful if you could spend some time reviewing these at home. New
sets will be sent home at the end of each week.
Harvest Festival
