Dear Parents,
The highlight of this week has been our visiting friends from Ex-Cathedra. Our music and singing lessons created so much energy and enjoyment, it was truly a wonderful experience for all students of the school. The children were able to quickly pick up new songs, new movements and learn new vocabulary in a fun and exciting way. We already can’t wait for them to return next year!
In Maths, we have been revisiting 3D shapes and describing their features. We thought about straight edges and curved faces. Ask your child if they can spot any 3D shapes at home? We have also been reading the number names and trying to order them using only words e.g. one, two, three etc
In English, we started the week following a recipe and baking an apple pie! The children used their senses to help them generate great adjectives to describe how the pie looked, smelt, tasted and felt. We enjoyed using our new books to write down our ideas and had to use our phonic knowledge to help us spell.
In Science, we have started looking at the human body and had great fun drawing around our friends and labeling their body parts. We were also able to do this digitally by taking a photograph and adding labels.
In Topic, we have been thinking about where our food comes from. We had to really think about how the food got to the supermarket and also about the changes to the food along the way. We have come to realise that farmers and their fields are very important to us and that they must have to work extremely hard to grow such a variety of foods.
Finally, please be kindly reminded that Miss Sharman will be holding a Parents in Partnership meeting on Monday 4th November at 8am, with information regarding Year 1 Reporting and Assessing.
Enjoy the weekend, see you on Monday!
The year 1 team.
