Weekly News w/c 17.06.19

This week in Year 1, we have continued to enjoy English lessons linked to our Power of Reading book 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'.  On Monday, we re-read the book and created our own story mountains to sequence events in the story using time adverbs, such as first, next, then and finally.

On Wednesday, we used emojis to think about Lila's thoughts and feelings at different points  throughout the story.  Then we read the story again and mimed how she felt.  The children really enjoyed this and some super body language and facial expressions were on display!


In maths we have been learning about time.  We started by sequencing the days of the week and months of the year, then we linked the months to the seasons in which they occur.

Today, we started to tell the time using o'clock and half past.  We used small clocks to practice setting the times and then drew the hands onto blank clock faces.  We will continue to practice this at school as this is quite tricky, but you can help us practice at home too.







This afternoon as part of our RE, we learned about the Christian baptism ceremony.  We sketched different objects and people linked with the ceremony and wrote about why it is important to Christians.

As one of our Daily Activities, we learned how to sign our names.  See if we can remember how to do it!





Reminders
Next Tuesday (25th June) is our Year 1 Writing Cafe and you should have received an invitation for this.  Refreshments will be available from 8.50 - 9.05 and we have a story writing activity to do with your children shortly after!  We hope you will be able to join us and look forward to seeing you all.  

Next Thursday, we are looking forward to our trip to the Norfolk Show.  Remember your child will need to bring a packed lunch.
