English

We have focused on reading in our English lessons this week. We have done some whole-class reading lessons and have been developing our inference and comprehension skills. Please keep reading lots at home.

Maths

We have started our ‘Addition and Subtraction’ unit of work. This week we have been adding by counting on.

Then we moved on to addition using number bonds.

Computing

We contniued with our unit on algorithms this week by ordering and following a set of instructions on how to make toast. Everybody, including the adults, very much enjoyed this task!

Science

We have finished our unit on materials. The children should now all be able to confidently name and identify materials, including wood, plastic, glass, paper, metal, fabric and brick. How many materials can your child identify?

Children’s Mental Health Week

The theme this year is ‘Where I Belong’. We have spent discussing what this means and where we all belong. The children created some amazing maps. “I belong in my church.” “I belong in my family.” “I belong at my dancing class.”

They all enjoyed this fun song!

Year 1 Art Gallery

Thank you to everyone who attended the Year 1 Art Gallery after school today. It was wonderful to see you all enjoy the children’s fantastic artwork.

Have a lovely half-term holiday,

The Year 1 Team
