 Hello everyone,

We’ve had a fantastic week in class. On Thursday, Mrs Watson came into Year 1 to help us with planting a variety of herbs, vegetables and flowers. The children had a wonderful afternoon and we can’t wait to watch our plants grow over the coming weeks. A special thank you to all the children who brought in seeds and plants for us to use.   

 

In English, the children wrote amazing letters of advice to the character of Leo. They also wrote factual sentences about octopuses and came up with a variety of questions.

In Maths, the children began a new topic based on mass and volume. They explored ‘heavier’ and ‘lighter’, measured and compared ‘mass’ and explored ‘full’ and ‘empty.’

 

Next Week:

 

Maths- The children will compare and measure volume and capacity.  

 

English- The children will write a log book in the past tense. They will also use explanation marks in speech bubbles and plan and begin to write a non-fiction report.

 

Science- The children will learn about deciduous and evergreen trees. They will also be exploring the season of Spring.

 

RE- We will continue to discuss and learn about the Easter story.

 

Computing- The children will continue to work with the Beebots.

 

D&T- The children will be making their moving greetings card

 

Spellings for next Friday’s test are:
