This week in Year 1 we have had our first of three cricket mornings! The children impressed us so much with their enthusiasm and behaviour. They took part in a range of activities, using the bats to practise their hitting and balls to practise their catching. We are looking forward to seeing the progress in their cricket skills over the next few weeks.

 

So far in Phonics, we have learnt the following sounds:

This week in Year 1 we had a wonderful visit from Duncan Beedie, author of 'Heavy Metal Badger'. The children loved listening to him tell the story and discuss where the idea of the book came from. They joined in with a 'draw-along' in which they drew the main character and were even lucky enough to take their own copy home!

This week in Science we have spoken about the germination process of seeds. We listened to the story 'Jack and the beanstalk' and even planted our own runner beans! The children identified what plants need to grow: sunlight, water and nutrients from soil. In groups, they then planted some runner beans which are now on our classroom window sill. 

 

The children made predictions about how well the seeds will grow using a paper towel, as opposed to soil! We are looking forward to seeing the first root emerge from the seeds!

 

In Phonics, we have learnt the sounds ow, oo and oo. Please see the following links:

This week in Year 1 we have been very busy starting our new topic in English based on the book 'The Train Ride'. We are so proud of the children for being such Persevering Petes and trying their best to write on the lines. We have really focused on using a full stop, capital letter and finger spaces in our simple sentences. 

 

In Maths this week, we have looked at counting up to 10 and making sure we touch each object so we don't count too many! We have sorted objects into different groups based on colour, shape and size, as well as counting from a larger group. The children have shown a Curious Connie attitude by asking questions which has been great!

The children used the following stem sentences to explain their learning:

'This set of objects has been sorted by...'

'I could also sort the objects by...'

'...does belong in this set because.'

'...does not belong in this set because.'

 

In Phonics this week we have learnt the sounds ay, ee and igh. Please use the links below to practise these sounds - It will really help your child in school. Thank you!
