Hello Year One,
We have had an amazing week. Our trip to the snow centre was fantastic!
The children loved every moment and had great fun!
As I didn't post a blog last week I have not yet shared our photos from World Book Day. This was another day full of fun and learning. We spent the day reading the story 'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll. The children went on to work with Year Four as they were given direction for role play. The two classes worked well together and within an hour had performances ready!
For maths we have been working on bar models and cherry models while finding the parts and the wholes.
We spent some time looking at 'new life.' We planted bulbs in November and daffodils have grown! We used water colour paints to paint observational drawings of these beautiful Spring flowers.
We have started to look at the Easter story for RE. The children are fascinated by this religious story.
Next Week
English
We will continue our letter writing topic as the children will be using draft copies to write final copies of thank you letters which will be delivered to Christ Church following the wonderful Baptism workshop they put on for us.
The children will be working on sentence structure and will write a letter to a friend in Year One. They will address the envelope and add a stamp. The letters will be posted, so expect a letter at some point in the next few days.
Maths
Next week we will begin a problem solving topic. The children will be identifying the start, the change and the result of problems. They will also be learning to work out possibilities and finding possibilities to solve a problem.
Science
The children will be estimating how much rainfall we will have in the coming week. This will be recorded in centimetres.
PHSE
As we have been learning about 'keeping healthy' next week we will be looking at the actions we need to carry out to keep ourselves clean.
RE
The children will write a recount of the Easter story.
Geography
We will be looking at the features of farms.
Spellings
I do apologise that the children did not take their spellings home today. I will hand them out on Monday and post them below. There are more children spending time learning their spellings at home and they are thrilled when they get a 'full house.' Please ensure your child learns his/her spellings every week.
