Hello Year One,
We have had an interesting and mysterious week as an elf has joined our classroom. He has been playing tricks on us. I hope he doesn't make too much mess over the weekend!
The children have been working on 1:1 correspondence to find fewer a more than a given number. We have introduced the language of difference. They are learning to understand difference as the distance between two numbers.
We have been exploring nouns this week and the children have learned the vowels. They were able to locate the vowels in a variety of words. They began to sequence a story and next week they will complete this.
We have been rehearsing for our Christmas production this week. The children are excited to perform to an audience!
I have not given out spellings this week as next Friday we will be rehearsing so we will probably pick this up again in the new year. It does make such a difference to their results when they practise them at home.
NEXT WEEK
English
Next week the children will complete their story sequence. We will be creating a list of words about Christmas as the following week we will be writing Christmas poems.
Maths
We will be using language to express equivalent ways of making the same total. We will be making equal values and using symbols to record.
History
The focus will be on creating a timeline of the areas of history we study at Little Heath.
RE
The children will be writing the story behind the Jewish festival Hannukah.
Rehearsals
We will be rehearsing for The Christmas Production next week and making brochures for the audience.
I wish you all a happy weekend.
Ms Davis
