Hello Year One,
What a busy week we have had! The Apprentice was a huge success this afternoon and the children loved visiting the stalls and spending their money!
We have been learning how to tell the time in our maths lessons this week. This is an easy one to practise at home.
For English we have been writing poems that have rhyming couplets and listening to different styles of poetry. The final activity was to write a poem about Summer and I will share this one with you.

For our geography lesson we travelled to The USA this week and learned about the climate and features of some of the states.
The children learned and labelled all the body parts in our science lesson this week.
NEXT WEEK
English
As it will be our last full week next week the children will be writing about their experiences in Year One and their hopes and wishes for Year Two.
They will be creating a 'friendship hand' whereby they write different qualities about each other on hand drawings. This is a lovely ending activity for children as they recognise the qualities they have been known for during the school year by their peers.
Maths
Next week we will continue to learn how to tell the time. This will be followed by benchmarking and solving worded maths problems.
Geography
We will be travelling to Brazil next week and will be focusing on The Amazon Rainforest.
Science
The children will be learning about the five senses.
PSHE
Our PHSE lesson will be about identifying differences between male and female animals. They will be identifying the parts of the body that make boys and girls different. They will be learning the correct names for these parts of the body.
Transition
Next Thursday the children will be spending time in their new Year Two class. This helps them get to know their new teacher and become accustomed to the classroom environment.
In the evening there will be two sessions of 'meet the teacher' at 4.30 and 5.30 for you to meet the new class teacher and be updated on what to expect for the coming year.
Have a lovely weekend
Ms Davis
