October Update 2020

R.E

In RE we have been learning about God's Creation and about all the beautiful gifts that he has given us. We have also listened to Pope Francis' special letter about Laudato Si' and thought about ways we can protect our Earth, God's Creation and each other. 

English

In English, we have been reading 'We're Going On A Bear Hunt'. We have had great fun retelling the story both inside and outside of the classroom and in Forest School. Year 1 were super excited to go on a dinosaur hunt, where we found clues across the school and a letter from the dinosaurs. We have been writing our own versions of the story and recounts of our hunt to stop the dinosaurs eating all of our food! 

Maths

We have been exploring number and place value. Year 1 have found lots of interesting ways to represent different numbers using classroom objects and resources and written methods e.g bead strings, unifix cubes, tally marks and number sentences. We have also been ordering numbers on a number line and spotting the missing numbers!

September Update 2020

R.E

In RE this week we have been learning about our class saint, who she is and why she is important. We have also discussed the meaning of Veritas and collaged our own logos. In the next couple of weeks we be continuing to learn about 'God's Great Plan'. 

English

In English this week, we have been using the book 'The day the crayons quit' to inspire our writing. We have read the story, acted it out and written letters to the crayons. This week our chairs also went missing and some letters were left behind for us to read. We have been working hard responding to the letters to find out why the chairs have quit!

Maths

Year 1 have been working really hard to apply their problem solving skills. We have been completing maths challenge activities such as estimating how many objects are in the jar, comparing weights of classroom objects, naming and identifying shapes, solving number problems, practising our number formation and making different repeating patterns.
