The Year 1 children have settled in wonderfully and we have been impressed by their eagerness to learn. We've had a busy start to the term! In English we’ve been working with the book ‘Mini Rabbit Not Lost’ by John Bond, reading a few pages each lesson to build anticipation as the plot unfolds. Our writing activities have included setting and character descriptions, instruction writing, poems, and questions. We have also engaged with the story through drama activities such as acting out the story, playing ‘conscience alley,’ and performing our poems. In Maths, we began by sorting and comparing numbers, using the part-part-whole model to identify relationships between numbers. We have also reviewed number bonds to 10 and practiced addition.
Our Geography lessons have focused on learning about where we live, naming the four countries of the UK, and creating aerial plans of our classrooms. In History, we’ve explored key events in our lives so far. The focus in science has been seasonal changes, weather patterns, and how trees change, even presenting our own weather reports. In art we experimented with different types of lines, and in RE, we have learned about Harvest and how wonderful our world is. We have enjoyed using the new laptops in Computing we have practiced logging in and saving work.
