Welcome to your Friday blog!

English 

We practised our readings for the special assembly. We tried very hard to lift the writing off the page by speaking slowly, clearly and so that our voice could be heard by our audience. 

We read a new story called Farmer Duck which featured a very lazy farmer. We pretended to be the farmer and wrote a letter of apology to the animals.

Phonics

We have been learning the oi sound as in coin and and as in toy.

Maths

We have started to learn about multiplication. We've been focusing on doubles to 10 and some of us to 20! We then moved onto solving word problems. It was a lot of reading but we loved it!

R.E.

We started to learn about our new topic of Change. We looked at how seasons change and then how much we have changed since September. We had a giggle at the blog pictures from September and wrote about a skill that we have learnt since being in year 1.

P.S.H.E.

We learnt about where money can come from, focusing on the most common source - a job! We looked at different jobs and talked about what those people might spend their money on.

We even role played pretending to be a baker, a teacher, a dentist and even a builder!

Computing

We focused on grouping objects by their properties (for example - by size, shape and colour). We then went on a colour hunt and found 3 objects that were the same colour.

We also enjoyed practising our learning on Sumdog.

D.T.

We started to think about the smoothies that we would like to make. We chose the fruit that we wanted and then planned how we were going to make the smoothie.

We then tasted lots of different fruits that we wouldn't normally eat, such as grapefruit and tomatoes.

Outdoor Learning

This week we either made a worry doll, a forest eye or had some free choice in the nature area.

French

We  we learnt the vocabulary for family members then we made a card for Mother's Day.  We also enjoyed the story of Jacques et les haricots magiques (Jack and the Beanstalk) in French, joining in with the repetitive parts. We checked up on how our French beans are growing. No giants to see yet!
