Good Evening Everyone,

Year 1 have had a very busy first week back to school. In maths the children have been finding 1 more and 1 less with 20 and they have also been exploring and using number lines to 20. In English the children have worked extremely hard, recounting the instructions for ‘How To Wash A Woolly Mammoth.’ They also began planning their own set of instructions for how to wash an animal of their choice. I was very impressed with the children’s imaginative animal suggestions.  Also, I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the wonderful writing the children completed in their learning journals over the half term holiday. I was so proud of the children’s amazing efforts and I can’t wait to read about their fantastic ideas and experiences next week.  

 

Next Week:

Maths- The children will be estimating on a number line to 20, comparing and ordering numbers to 20.

 

English- The children will continue with their non-fiction topic which focuses on Instructions. They will be planning and writing a set of instructions for washing an animal of their choice.
