Year 1- Week 1 Learning

Week 1- Welcome back!

Hello!

We have loved being back this week and getting stuck straight into our learning.

Literacy

We have started a new topic based around the book called, 10 things I can do to help my world. 

The book has prompted lots of interesting discussions about what we do and the things we could change. The children have been do some writing about what they do to help the environment. 

In literacy next week we are looking at what happens to our recycling when we put it in our orange sacks and leave it out on the pavement ready for collection. 

Maths 

This week we have been have been practising our 2, 5 and 10 time tables. We have also begun to look at multiplication, grouping equal amounts and adding the groups together. 

In maths next week we are looking at arrays and how to show our working out by drawing arrays.

Science 

We are linking science in with out book '10 things I can do to help my world' and we are looking at materials. We started by sorting and classifying them into categories such as; plastic, paper, mental, wood. Then the children discovered that some objects were made from more than one material. We then used a Venn diagram to dort the objects, looking closely at all the materials it was made from. 

In science next week we are looking at how to just at least 3 different materials to make something new. We will be naming the materials and discussing the properties of them. 

History 

In History next week we are following a Tudor recipe and making Tudor style bread, We will discuss how the Tudors would cook bread and how we now cook bread and why. 

Outdoors

As part of our wider school plan to plant more flowers and vegetables in the school grounds, Year 1 have planted lots of flowers and vegetables this week. We look forward to taking care of them and watching them grow.

Have a great weekend!
