Welcome All,
The new 'Year One' have settled so well! They are picking up routines quickly. The children have had great fun and were keen to bring their 'Not A Sticks' home to share with you.
This week we spent a fair amount of time talking about their feelings around school and the changes that they are becoming familiar with. I also introduces our topics for this half term, please see below;
Science - Animals (Including humans) and Autumn
History - Toys (past and present)
NEXT WEEK
English
We will be revising the phonemes we have learned and adding ow, ur and oi.
Next weeks tricky words will be I, no, she, he and go.
The children will be listening to the rhyming story Each, Peach, Pear, Plum.
We will be listening to and singing songs with rhyming couplets. The children will work towards sequencing the story at the end of the week.
Maths
The children will be learning about position. They will hear and use positional language. They will describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three quarter turns. They will order first, second third etc. They will use the language of direction and motion, including left and right, top, middle and bottom, on top of, in front of, above, behind, between, around, near, close, far, up and down, forwards and backwards, inside and outside.
There is a huge emphasis here on vocabulary, therefore if you can use positional language at home this will be a great support for next week's learning.
History
We will be looking at old and new toys and learning the vocabulary needed to describe them.
The children will sort toys into old and new categories.
Science
Animals will be our focus next week, as we sort them into the categories listed below:
mammals
birds
fish
reptiles
amphibians
insects
ART
Our art lesson will focus on portrait drawing and the children will draw self-portraits.
Thank you for coming to 'Meet The Teacher' on Thursday. It was great to meet so many of you.
I wish you all a restful and happy weekend.
Ms Davis
