Year 1 Blog - Friday 7th July 2023

Date: 7th Jul 2023 @ 11:07am

Welcome to your Friday blog!

We really enjoyed visiting out new classroom and meeting our new teachers. We shared our favourite books with Miss Gravili.

We are looking forward to Year 6 performing Oliver! for us next week and also Super Learning Day on Friday.

English

We have been learning through a new book this week. It's about a girl called Matilda and her dad as they go on a journey and discover all kinds of treasure. We drew and labelled what they found and we then wrote descriptions of the treasure. We took great care with our letter formation, spelling and punctuation.

Phonics

We have been revising some of the sounds we have learnt this year.

Maths

We have been learning about addition and subtraction strategies. We have been using the number facts we already know to partition number.We have been trying really hard to explain our thinking using correct mathematical vocabulary.

RE

We read a story that was all about a man called Levi. We found out that he was a tax collector who made some wrong choices. We talked about how he changed and wrote a postcard to Jesus, pretending to be Levi, saying sorry for his actions.

PSHE

Since we have spent some time in year 2, we talked about change and the transition into a new classroom. We discussed our worries and set ourselves targets for the new year.

D.T.

We used the plans we made to finish making clothes for a teddy. First, we cut the fabric. Then, we carefully sewed the pieces of fabric together. We learnt how to fasten off the sewing so it didn't come undone. We evaluated how well we achieved our plan. We showed great perseverance.

Art Week

It's Art Week for everyone in our school this week. We have produced different pieces through the week and these have culminated in a final piece which will be displayed in a gallery at the summer fair on Saturday 15th July.

Yoga

We had our final Yoga session with Katie. We have really enjoyed these sessions and learnt a lot.

Forest School and Outdoor Learning

We had another go at nail art using the hammers safely. We used what we have already learned and made more complicated designs.

Some of us made hammocks which we loved swinging in! We will make them again next week and try to improve the design.
