Hello,

 Year 1 have had a very busy week of learning!

 

In English, we have been working from the story ‘Beegu’ by Alexis Deacon. The children have used adjectives to write sentences about Beegu’s appearance. They have also made lists to describe how Beegu felt when her spaceship crashed down to Earth. We have also continued with our daily phonics lessons (recapping the Phase 2 and 3 sounds and tricky words) and read in a group 3 times with an adult. Next week, the children will begin Phase 4 phonics.

 

In Maths, the children have been working hard to count on from a number, finding 1 more and counting backwards. They have also been practising their number formation.

 

In History, the children are really enjoying our topic based on ‘Toys Past and Present.’ They were so excited telling each other what their parents, carers and grandparents liked to played with when they were children. We looked at some old toys and described their appearance.

 

In Music, the children have been working with Mrs Lawrence to learn our harvest songs, in preparation for the Harvest Festival assembly on Friday 4^th October.

 

Next Week

English - The children will continue to work from the book ‘Beegu’ by Alexis Deacon to create lost posters, they will also use adjectives to write about one of their friends and they will explore and write in speech bubbles.

 

Maths – The children will be finding 1 less, exploring the vocabulary ‘fewer,’ ‘more’ and ‘the same’ and ordering groups of objects using this vocabulary.

 

History – The children will be finding out what toys were like at different times in the past.

 

R.E. - The children will find out about harvest traditions.

 

Science- The children will begin the topic ‘animals including humans’ by naming and labelling the parts of the human body.
