Term 1 Week 2 Learning Update:

We have had another lovely week in Year 1! The children are getting used to our routines and they are really enjoying tackling some more challenging learning. This week, we have started our MyMaths online homework- this is something that the rest of the school participates in every week and the children are really excited to join in! Logins are being sent home in a letter and they will also have a login label stuck into their reading records next week. We will set at least one activity each week to be completed at home. 

English:

We have begun our learning about the story "Man on the Moon". The children have really enjoyed this book. We are working towards writing a character description of the main character, Bob, next week.

Maths:

We have practised basic Maths skills this week based around number and shape- counting, finding 1 more and 1 less and identifying 2D shapes.

Science:

We have started our learning about materials- exploring items and finding out what they are made of. 

PE:

The children loved inventing their own games this week as part of our Creative Learning unit!

History:

We have been learning about Space. We found out about Neil Armstrong and talked about what the children already know about Space.

Art:

We started our "Spirals" unit- the children explored different mark-making tools including special graphite pencils, and drew shells using the pen/ pencil of their choice. 

Term 1 Week 1 learning update:

We have had a lovely first week in Year 1! The children have settled in really well and we have really enjoyed getting to know them! 

The children were all given a reading book and reading record to bring home today- please ensure your child has a bookbag or backpack to keep their books and other items in. 

We have made a great start to our Year 1 learning this week!
