Hello Year One,
We have had such a fun packed week! The arrival of the Christmas Grotto and Santa's Workshop caused great excitement and enjoyment. The children made plasticine models as gifts and wrapped them in the workshop. They made Christmas cards outside too and at one point we heard the very faint sound of some bells!
We have continued with our learning and this week we wrote a book review, completed sentences correctly, wrote a letter and used adjectives to describe the grotto.
For maths we have been exploring fewer than and more than. We have been finding the difference between two numbers and learning to count in fives.
For Art we looked at the work of Claude Monet and sketched the other half of one of his paintings. We then used pastel crayons to recreate the style of impressionism.
Next week we will focus on English and maths. For English we will be exploring rhyme, writing a poem about Christmas and carrying out a comprehension task. For maths we will be be looking at equal values, recording using symbols, and continuing work on number by counting in twos.
We are looking forward to our Christmas lunch on Wednesday and the children will be having a 'movie' afternoon afterwards.
Wishing you all a very peaceful weekend.
Ms Davis
Next week
