This week we have been super star authors,
writing our own stories set in an Enchanted Woodland! We have been using
brilliant time adverbs and amazing adjectives to make our stories exciting.
In Maths we have been learning about
doubling numbers, including working out how to double teen numbers. We have
also started learning about subtraction. We used cubes to help us work out the
answers but we had to remember to always start with the largest number first.
We were wowed by how brilliant our spellings
were this week. We were amazing at remembering how to write the tricky words
that we can’t sound out. We have sent home the next set of tricky
words to practise at home, ready for next Friday 24th November.
We have also been busy becoming pop
stars and recording a Christmas CD. We sang the songs that we have been
practising in our class and assemblies, including a song in German.
If you would like to purchase a copy of the
CD, they will be on sale at the Christmas Fayre, 1st December,
5-7pm.
Our shoebox project has now finished the
planning and preparation stage so we will be starting to use our shoeboxes next
week. We have taken influence from our brilliant story writing to create a
story shoebox with characters, backgrounds and lots of other decorations.
Please bring your shoebox in next week, ready for us to start using them if you have not yet brought one in..
Have a lovely weekend – the year 1 team.
