Dear Parents,
Another positive week of learning this week in Year 1. The week started with the wonderful opportunity as the author Mike Curato read his book Little Elliot Big City to the Year 1 children. He also demonstrated how we works to create his books. The children have also loved their final cooking with parent sessions this week. They have created some wonderful and delicious dishes over the last 3 weeks. A big thank you to everyone who has come in to cook with the children. Also, a big well done to 1JT and their wonderful class assembly this week.
In Maths, we have been using number lines to help us take away by counting backwards. Please encourage the children to count backwards from 20 at home to help them with this. Next week we will be using this understanding of taking away to help us solve word problems. The children will also be starting to find the difference between two numbers.
In English, we have started to read the book The Christmas Jolly Postman. We will be looking at different traditional stories linked to this so please do read these stories to your children at home to ensure they know these stories well.
In Topic, the children have been looking at a map of the world. They have been labeling the climates in the different regions and discussing the food that grows there. In Science, we have been continuing our work looking at our senses. We have been focusing on what we can hear and smell.
During the morning of Monday 25th November we have our Food Vendors in to visit. Please can all children remember to bring the money they need in order to buy the food they would like. Please can they also bring a bag so they can carry their food away with them.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend,
The Year 1 team.
