Weekly News - w/c 18.11.19

We have had so many visitors this week to help us with our learning!

This week in English, we wrote questions that we would like to ask John Cadbury, the founder of the Cadbury chocolate company.  Our questions included:

  • When were you born?
  • When did you start the chocolate factory?
  • How long have you been making chocolate?
  • How do you make chocolate bars?  
On Thursday, we had a visit from John Cadbury (thank you Ian for acting the part).  We asked him some of our questions and learnt about his life and how the Cadbury chocolate company started.  After that, we wrote fact files to show what we had learned.



In maths, we have been learning our number bonds to 10 and some children have extended this understanding to number bonds to 20.


We learnt a song (to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat) to help us:

9 and 1 are number bonds
So are 8 and 2
7 and 3
6 and 4
5 and 5 are twins.

In RE this week we have continued learning about Christianity. As part of this Rev. Adrian Miller visited us on Tuesday to tell us about Christian life and the Church. He even performed a mini, pretend wedding. The children were excellent actors and loved taking part.



We have been practising hard for our Christmas show and tonight a letter will come home explaining what is required for children's costumes.  Please ask if you are unsure what is needed.

Spellings for this week: to, you, all, little.

Have a lovely weekend, 
The Year 1 Team
