We’ve had yet another an exciting week!
On Monday morning, we made sandwiches and coloured in Union
Jack flags. In the afternoon, we had a
tea party with the ‘Queen’! We had a
lovely time eating our sandwiches, lots of us tried a cup of tea and the Queen
answered some of our questions about her life.
Later in the week, many children were very aspirational when
writing a recount of her visit using time conjunctions, such as ‘first’, ‘next’,
‘after that’ and ‘finally’. We are
steadily progressing with the use of capital letters and full stops in our
sentences. We are pleased that some
children are starting to apply our new pre-cursive letters and you should have
had an email from the office showing you what these look like.
In maths, we have been learning about 3D shapes. We have revised the names of the shapes,
which the children knew very well from Reception, and have started learning
about their properties using maths vocabulary of faces, edges and vertices
(corners). We used several very catchy
songs to help with our learning!
In science this week, we continued thinking about the
materials that different objects are made from and sorted them for the purposes
of recycling.
Reminders/Notes:
Now that the children are in phonics groups, we will be
doing our spelling check on a Friday, which will give you a whole week to
practice.
Spellings for this week are: your, looked, called, oh
Have a lovely weekend,
The Year 1 Team
