Wow! What an exciting
week we have had!
On Thursday, Mrs Theobald had a special letter hand
delivered to her from Buckingham Palace.
The letter said that the Queen wants to visit the Year 1 children for a
tea party on Monday. She also said that
she is happy to answer questions about her life, her family and her job, so the
children spent the rest of the day writing questions that they would like to
ask her. They wanted to know thing as
like:
“What
are your dogs called?”
“What
does your throne look like?”
“Do you
like biscuits?”
“Does
your palace have stairs?”
“When
is your birthday?”
This week, we have had a Week of Inspirational Maths. On Tuesday, we played a strategy game called ‘Game
of Totals’ where we had to lay counters and the aim was to lay the tenth
one. We had to try and work out if there
was a way we could win every time. Today,
we did a ‘Foot Parade’. We had to choose
different animals to make a total of 12 feet.
In science, we are learning about materials. As one of our challenges, we have been
hunting round the base to find, draw and label things made of materials such as
wood, metal, plastic and paper.
Today we did a tennis taster with Sam from the Mulbarton
Social Club Tennis section. The children
really enjoyed learning some basic tennis skills.
From Monday, we will be grouping the children for phonics
sessions in order to prepare them for the Year 1 Phonics Screening in June. Please remember to use your sound cards and hear
your children read regularly to support this.
Reminders/Notes:
- On Monday, we have our Royal Tea Party. Children should come to school in uniform and bring their smart clothes in a bag to change into at lunchtime.
- Spellings for this week are: when out Mr Mrs
- Home Learning books are coming home again today with new tasks for this half term (assuming they were returned to school before Christmas). We hope you enjoy completing the tasks with your children.
Have a lovely weekend,
The Year 1 Team
