Hello Year One,
We have had a creative week. Through our history project we have gone back in time to 'The Tudor Period.'
We have been making masks for a Tudor feast and learning a Tudor dance. The children found this very funny!
Jack and the Beanstalk has continued to provide a wealth of wonderful written work and the children have now created their own stories about 'magic beans.' They began by planning the sequence of their stories, next they added adjectives to make them colourful and imaginative. Finally they concentrated on punctuation as they put the stories together.
Next week we will begin a new book for our English lessons. We will begin to explore 'Anancy and Mr Dry-Bone.' This is a traditional tale from West Africa and it will prompt some colourful art work too!
For maths we will begin to look at scaling and counting in twos to 24.
Our science lessons will focus on trees as we continue to look at growth. The children will also continue to monitor their bean growth, which is proving very exciting!
We will continue to learn about past and present queens of England, focussing on Elizabeth 11.
We will be printing using our hands and fruit and vegetables to create patterns in our art lesson.
