Year 1 Friday Blog 12th November 2021

Welcome to your Friday blog!

We have started our brand new book in English: Man on the Moon: A Day in the Life of Bob. We have been looking really carefully at the pictures-Bob never sees the aliens! We have been drawing and labelling picnic lunches for Bob and his friends. We drew our own aliens and described them. We wrote some questions for Bob and interviwed him about his work on the Moon.

In Maths, we have moved on from measuring length and onto measuring mass (weight). We have experimented using balance scales and found out that we can compare the mass of different objects in the classroom. We have been using cubes in the scales as we learnt that we could easily count them in order to see how heavy/light an object is.

In R.E. we have spent the week exploring Judaism, focusing on Abraham and Moses in particular. We have learnt that they both made promises to God and showed a great deal of faith in Him. We drew our own pictures of Abraham and Moses and talked about how important it is to trust and believe in God.

French 

We learnt and recited a poem in French about Autumn leaves falling and Winter creeping in. We coloured some Autumn pictures.

We loved our P.E. lesson this week! We explored how a robot can travel using different levels (travelling low on the floor, high in the air and across the room).

In Science we went outside to look at the trees. We found deciduous and evergreen ones. We talked about the Seasons.

We have been very busy this week! Have a look at some of our pictures below.

Home Practice

Read for at least 10 minutes every night. This is so important. please sign the diary so we can change the books. Keep practicing reading the Tricky Words on sight. Everyone has got a new set of words. Please just write a note in the diary if you need the next set.

Practise measuring different items in your house. This could be by using a ruler, measuring scales or your body parts like last week.

We have also been counting.Have a go at counting forwards and backwards in 10s.
