In literacy this week, we completed our writing assessments! We did this independently using all our knowledge of finger spaces, capital letters and phonics to rewrite parts of the story, ‘The Snail and the Whale’.
English programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2 (Writing expectations)
In maths this week, we have looked at number lines! We have used our knowledge of numbers to plot missing numbers on a number line and used our estimation skills to create our own number lines outside using chalk.
In Science this week, we have observed changes in our plants. We looked at how the different parts of the plant have changed over time and why we thought this had happened. We took into consideration what plants needed in order to grow and then recorded our observations.
In Design and Technology we have been planning how we were going to create a bag! We have explored various joining techniques such as staples and glue. This week we explored sewing! The children were shown how to sew and the necessary safety precautions to take when handling the needles. The children did an absolutely amazing job to thread the string through the eye of the needle and perform a running stitch with very little support (the year 1 teachers were very impressed!).
