Year 1: What We Are Learning

The children have also been working hard in Read, Write, Inc this week. Please continue to read with your children and work on their Spellings with them. Please remember to sign your child's Reading Record Book. 

In Literacy the children watched the video Hope and wrote about what happened to the turtle in the film. They discussed ways that they could help to keep the oceans safe for all of the sea animals. They also made their very own flip page like in our book for this half term 10 Things I Can Do To Help My Planet. They chose one thing they could do to help the planet and wrote about it as well as making a brilliant flip page.

In Maths this week the children have been finding half and a quarter of a quantity. Well done Year 1 for your hard work in Maths!

In History this week the children had their Stay and Learn. They quizzed their parents and asked them questions about what they remember of life before and after the internet. We talked about how things have changed in the way we communicate with each other since since the internet was invented. The children then completed lots of activities such as writing an email on the chrome books, stamping their names, painting letters with feathers and writing and posting their very own letters in our Broadford post box.

In PE the children practised their ball skills.

Year one are looking to introduce different resources into the outdoor environment and wondered if any parents/ carers/ members of the wider community could donate any of the following items:

• Dressing up clothes (between ages 5-9)
• clipboards
• gazebo/ structured shade
• den building materials (ie tarpaulin)
• compost (for the planters)
• metal Balti dishes (for the mud kitchen)
• large paint brushes/ rollers
• buckets
• child sized outdoor brooms
• different sized funnels
• reading books (for an outside reading area)

If you have any other age appropriate items to donate that haven't been listed please speak to a year one member of staff as this may be something we could take or use in another year group.

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