Hello everyone,

We have had a very busy but fun-filled week in Year One.

 

In English, the children have really enjoyed reading the book ‘Traction Man’ by Mini Grey. They have written lovely sentences containing exciting adjectives to describe the character and used ‘because’ and ‘and’ to extend their sentences. They have also learnt about proper nouns. In phonics this week the children reviewed the Phase 5 graphemes ‘ay’, ‘ou’, ‘oy’ and ‘ea’. They also revised the tricky words ‘all’, ‘are’, ‘I’, ‘of’, ‘one’, ‘here’ and ‘today’.

In Science, the children have been learning about the season of ‘Autumn.’ In the afternoon, we went outside in the beautiful sunshine to sketch what the trees in the playground look like in this season. We will sketch the same trees again in Winter, Spring and Summer to observe the changes from Season to Season

The children will continue to work from the book ‘Traction Man’ to make Thank You cards to Granny and write questions to ask Traction Man.

 Hello,

 

It was lovely to see so many of you this morning at the Harvest Festival coffee morning. The children have loved learning their songs and I’m sure you will agree that they sang beautifully.

 

On Thursday we were invited to Christ Church to experience Harvest through a variety of activities. The children were given the opportunity to look at harvest from the sea, the earth, the grain and the flock. We had an amazing morning and the children were so well behaved. Well done Year 1!
