Weekly News 11.10.19

This week we have been very creative in Year 1.
On Monday, we made some clay monsters - our own characters for our monster story! We then wrote some adjectives to describe our monsters. We thought about the size, shape, amount of eyes, colours and texture.



Later in the week we used the structure of the Grendel story to plan our own monster story. We thought of 3 things our monster loved, a wish and a problem. Next week we will be doing Story Scribing to write our stories in more detail.

In maths this week, we have been learning to order numbers. Some children ordered numbers to 10, whilst others ordered numbers to 20. We used the language of 'most' and 'least'. The children really enjoyed playing this game online.


If you would like to find some fun learning games online for your child like the one above we can recommend the 'Topmarks' website and the 'ICT Games' website - both of which have some fun counting, comparing and ordering number games.

In Science this week, we completed an experiment called 'What can our hands do?'. We found out that our hands can tell amount, size, weight and temperature, but they cannot tell us the colour!
