Hello everyone,

We have had a very busy but fun-filled week in Year One.

 

In English, the children have really enjoyed reading the book ‘Traction Man’ by Mini Grey. They have written lovely sentences containing exciting adjectives to describe the character and used ‘because’ and ‘and’ to extend their sentences. They have also learnt about proper nouns. In phonics this week the children reviewed the Phase 5 graphemes ‘ay’, ‘ou’, ‘oy’ and ‘ea’. They also revised the tricky words ‘all’, ‘are’, ‘I’, ‘of’, ‘one’, ‘here’ and ‘today’.

In Science, the children have been learning about the season of ‘Autumn.’ In the afternoon, we went outside in the beautiful sunshine to sketch what the trees in the playground look like in this season. We will sketch the same trees again in Winter, Spring and Summer to observe the changes from Season to Season
