Week ending 18th November 2022

 Hello Year One,

What a fun week we have had! It all started on Monday with 'Odd Socks Day.' We discussed the reason we were all wearing odd socks and took some fabulous photos.





As it was 'Anti-Bullying' week we did a lot of work around what the difference is between being unkind now and again and actual bullying. We carried out role play scenarios and the children completed a task at the end of the week to show how they would react if they heard or saw someone hurting another child's feelings.

The children have been learning to recognise and use verbs and adjectives this week.
 
They have completed their history project on 'Toys.' The final task was to draw, label and describe one of the old toys at the museum.

For maths we have been working on finding parts and the whole of numbers by using cherry models.

The clay divas have been painted and varnished and look very colourful and bright. The children will be able to take them home next week.

Spellings were good this week. It really helps when the children practise them at home and they are so proud when they are able to spell the words at the end of the week.

English

We will continue to work from the book 'Farmer Duck,' as we work on sentence structure, writing a letter and writing instructions/commands in speech bubbles.

Maths

Next week we will be looking at finding all possibilities of making numbers and exploring number sentences.

Science

We will continue exploring our senses and will play lots of games around guessing what you small, touch and hear.

Art

The children will use water-colour paints to create paintings in the style that Monet used. They will be given a print of half of a painting and will complete the other half.

D and T

The Story sliders will be completed next week as the children make the characters and tell the story of 'The Gingerbread Man' using the action of the slider!

I wish you all a very restful weekend.
