Hello everyone,

It has been another busy week in Year 1 and the children have worked so hard - well done everyone! On Monday, we had an amazing planetarium workshop. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learnt so many fascinating facts about space.

 

In English, the children started a new unit of work based on ‘Leo and the Octopus’ by Isabelle Marinov. They explored a range of emotions and used the pronoun ‘I’ to talk and write about their feelings. They then used imperative verbs to give advice to the character from the book.

 

In Maths, the children enjoyed learning about length and height. They compared length and height, measured using objects such as cubes and measured in centimetres.

 

Next Week:

Maths- The children will start a new topic based on mass and volume. They will be exploring ‘heavier’ and ‘lighter’, measure and compare ‘mass’ and explore ‘full’ and ‘empty’.

 

English- The children will write letters of advice to the character of Leo. They will also write factual sentences about octopuses, write questions and use the conjunctions ‘and’ and ‘but’ to compare.

 

Science- The children will be planting a range of flowers and vegetables.

 

PSHE- The children will learn about cleanliness to keep healthy

 

RE- We will be discussing and learning about the Easter story.

 

Computing- The children will continue to learn about directing a Beebot
