Hello everyone,
What a fantastic week we’ve had in Year 1! Yesterday’s
Sports Day was a real highlight – it was wonderful to see the children so
happy, excited, and full of energy as they took part in all the activities. A
big well done to all the children for their enthusiasm and team spirit!
In English, the children enjoyed writing letters to Pig
the Pug, showing great creativity and imagination. They also began planning
their very own ‘how to’ guide books.
In Maths, we’ve been busy working with base ten equipment
to partition and build numbers up to 100. The children also used 100 squares to
practise finding one more and one less, and explored number lines to deepen
their understanding of place value.
In Geography, the children loved learning about the seven
continents – especially singing the continent song! Using maps, they located
the UK, Europe, China, and Asia. We also began exploring the human and physical
features of China, which sparked some great discussions.
In PSHE, we reflected on how much we’ve grown and changed
since we were babies. The children shared all the amazing things they can do
now, which was a lovely celebration of their progress.
Next week:
Maths- The children will compare numbers and begin a new
topic based on money
English- The children will be writing their ‘how to’
guides.
Geography- they will be finding out what Shanghai is
like.
Science- We will observe and sketch the tree in the
playground that we have previously sketched in Autumn, Winter and Spring. We were
meant to do it this week however the afternoon was too hot to have the children
sitting out.
RE- The children will learn about the story of ‘The
Prodigal Son.’
PSHE – The children will be
learning the human body parts and recognising that there are differences
between males and females.
