Year 1: What We Are Learning 

This week our literacy focus book has been: Beegu, by Alexis Deacon

This week our Art objectives have been:I can  personalise the cover of my sketchbook to make it my own.

This week, pupils explored sketchbooks. They discussed  what a sketchbook is and why it’s important and learned that it’s a safe space for creative ideas and experimenting. Also they have made and personalised their own sketchbooks

Here is what we have been up to:

The children have also been working hard in History this week. They learnt about comparing the reign of Queen Victoria and King Charles III and identified the similarities and differences between the times.

As part of the Broadford DIY learning, the children practiced the ‘perfect writing posture’ and the ‘perfect pen hold’. The children supported their peers to remember, back to the back of the chair, feet flat on the floor and holding the paper still. They also practiced the tripod grasp using ‘frog fingers’!

Just a reminder to parents that the Parent Evening invitation slips have been sent home today, please see your child's class teacher if you didn't receive one.

Well done Year 1 for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!
