Dear parents,

 

A big thank you to everyone who came in to cook with us this week. Your children really enjoyed sharing the experience of cooking with you and most importantly it linked to our learning in English. The children are looking forward to the next 2 weeks of parent cooking sessions. 

 

In Maths we have been looking at 1 more and 1 less than numbers to 20. We introduced base 10 equipment to the children, they can now recognise that 2 digit numbers are made up of ‘tens’ and ‘ones. For example 13 is 1 ten and 3 ones. 

 

In Topic we looked at where our food comes from – does it come from an animal or a plant? The children were very interested in this and enjoyed matching pictures of food to its original form. When eating at home this week, ask your child to talk about where their food comes from.  

 

In Science we learnt about our 5 senses; taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing. Next week we will begin to identify mystery objects using these senses. 

 

Remember to come dressed in Thai costume for Loy Krathong celebrations on Monday 11th November. Also be reminded that school will close at 2:20pm, with no You Times, as we anticipate the surrounding areas will be very busy for Loy Krathong celebrations.

 

Have a lovely weekend. 

The Year 1 Team
