Hello Year One,
We have had a busy week! We have been learning the vowels and split vowel digraphs in phonics and have written instructions and a letter as part of our English lessons.
In our maths lessons we have been learning about more and less. We Have been finding as many ways as possible to make a given number and learning our number bonds to ten.
We made a slider mechanism for our D and T project. The children learned the story 'The Gingerbread Man' and created a moving story board.
The children completed their divas by varnishing them and were very excited to take them home today.
We have begun rehearsals for our Christmas Production. Thank you all so much for organising costumes.
The children have mastered the art of tidying the classroom this week, so we had time for parachute games outside which they really enjoyed!
NEXT WEEK
Maths
We will continue to look at 'less than' and 'more than' as we begin to recognise the difference between two numbers. We will also be exploring the language of 'fewer than' and 'greater than.'
English
We will continue to work on split vowel digraphs next week. The children are learning the vowels at the moment and we will also explore nouns.
Towards the end of the week we will be working on story sequencing. They children will finally re-write the story of 'Farmer Duck.'
Science
The children will continue to explore the senses and complete this part of our topic on The human Body.
RE
We will begin to learn about another festival of light as we listen to the story behind the celebration of Hannukah.
Spellings
The children were so pleased today as they were able to complete the spelling task successfully. It is clear that you have been working on this at home, thank you.
