. Good evening everyone,
It’s been another busy week in Year 1!
In English, the children planned and began writing their own version of the story The Comet. They will be finishing their stories on Monday. In phonics this week, the children learned the graphemes ‘le’, ‘al’, ‘c’, and ‘ve’. They also learned the tricky words ‘school’, ‘call’, ‘different’, and ‘ask’.
In Maths, the children explored number lines to 20. They practised estimating where numbers belong on a number line and comparing and ordering numbers to 20.
In History, the children really enjoyed learning about the structure of castles, including the different parts and their purposes.
In RE, the children drew their families and thought about the things that are important to them. They enjoyed listening to the story The Family Book by Todd Parr. They also named and wrote about the communities they are a part of.
Next Week
Maths – The children will start a new topic based on addition and subtraction to 20. They will add by counting on, add ones using number bonds, find and make number bonds to 20, and explore doubling numbers.
English – The children will finish their stories on Monday. We will then begin a new unit of work based on the book Leo and the Octopus by Isabelle Marinov and Chris Nixon. They will write in the first person to create a ‘This Is Me’ poster, use command sentences to give advice, and write a letter to the character Leo.
History – The children will learn about the people who lived in Medieval castles.
PSHE – The children will think about obstacles they may face when learning something new and how to overcome them.
RE – The children will think about the special ways people welcome a new baby and will begin learning about Baptism.
