The Year 1 children have settled into the new academic year wonderfully and are showing a great eagerness to learn. It's been a busy and productive start to the term, with exciting activities across the curriculum.
OurEnglish journey started with the delightful book, Mini Rabbit Not Lost by John Bond, reading a few pages each lesson to build suspense as the story develops. Writing activities have included setting and character descriptions, instruction writing, poems, and formulating questions. We brought the story to life through drama, acting out scenes, participating in "conscience alley" to explore character choices, and performing our own poetry.
In Maths, we've been comparing and sorting numbers, learning to see how numbers fit together using the part-part-whole model.We have also reinforced the number bonds within 10 and practiced fundamental addition skills.
We have covered a lot in our other subjects, too! Geography lessons have centred on local awareness, identifying physical and human features around us and the four countries of the UK.
History saw us look back at the important events in our own lives so far and explore key milestones.
Our Science lessons covered seasonal changes, including identifying key transformations, noting the shift in daylight hours, and linking them to seasonal celebrations.
In Art, we unleashed our creativity by exploring different lines and shapes while studying the work of famous artists like Paul Klee and Bridget Riley. For RE, we learned about the significance of the Bible for Christians, including their belief in God's seven-day creation story, leading to a discussion about the wonder of our world.
The children have enjoyed integrating technology into their learning, using the Chromebooks in Computing to practice logging in and saving their work.
The children have absolutely loved our new weekly Forest School Lessons! Every Wednesday, regardless of the weather, they've been eager to get outside, making these outdoor sessions a huge hit and a wonderful way to connect with nature.
A big well done to the Foxes class for their incredibly positive start! We're thrilled to be on this journey with you and are committed to making this a memorable and successful year.
