Year 1: What We Are Learning

 

Year 1: What We Are Learning 

Year 1 have been working really hard this week. 

 In Literacy this week the children have had an amazing time baking their very own cakes. They measured the ingredients and mixed it all together. They then decorated their cakes and enjoyed eating them altogether to celebrate their hard work throughout Year 1. They wrote a review of their cakes and described how baking their cakes went and described the cakes they made.

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 Maths this week the children have been continuing to learn all about money. They learnt about the values of the different notes and were about to recognise and compare them.

In Geography this week the children learnt about extreme weather in the UK. They also learnt about extreme weather that can take place around the rest of the world.

In Science the children were able to recognise and label the parts of the bean plant correctly.

In RE the children labelled the Muslims Artefacts.

In PSHE the children had an RSPCC assembly and made a poster display on how to Speak Out and Stay Safe.

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

28.06.24- What we are learning

 

Literacy

Chocolate Planet 

This week, pupils came up with their own characters,

described the character and inserted the character into

the story to replace the moondogs. Pupils were then able to

independently retell the story using their new unique character as well as

conjunctions. Well done year 2!

Maths

`

This week, pupils were able to partition 2 digit numbers into 10s and 1s to make it easier for them to carry out addition calculations. Also, pupils were introduced to expanded column method and used prior knowledge of partitioning to find the sum of different addition calculations.

Geography 

This week in geography, pupils discussed and identified the climate of the United Kingdom and discussed the differences in weather between the four countries. Pupils were able to place weather symbols to demonstrate the different weathers occurring in different parts of the United Kingdom.
