Year 1 Blog-Friday 10th March 2023

Date: 10th Mar 2023 @ 12:46pm

Welcome to your Friday blog!

English

We don't want to give away any spoilers but this week we have been learning through the book, My Mum. We have been trying super hard to make our writing look beautiful on the page. We have made a picture of our mums and written prayers-all will be revealed at the assembly next week!

Phonics

We have been learning the ow sound as in drought and and as in underground.

Maths

We have continued to learn about money. We can now recognise all the coins and the notes. We used the coins to make different amounts by having a cafe set up in the classroom.

R.E.

We had a lovely final lesson all about special meals. We had a pretend Holy Communion with juice and bread and spoke about how Holy Communion and The Last Supper relate to each other.

P.S.H.E.

We started to learn about money - what it is, what it is used for and how we can pay for items. This linked perfectly to our maths lessons! We talked about deciding how to pay - whether to pay for items using coins, notes, a contactless card or a chip and pin card.

Art

We sketched roses and the copied our sketch onto card. We then coloured in the sketch by painting really carefully.

D.T.

We learnt about flow diagrams and how food gets to our plate. We learnt that some food is hardly changed (e.g. fruit) and how some are changed a lot! (e.g. cereal and crisps).

Science

We were so excited on Monday when the eggs were delivered to our classroom. They were in an incubator and we waited very patiently until Thursday when the chicks started hatching out! By the time we arrived in school on Friday morning we had nine chicks hatched out of nine eggs!

We then transferred the chicks into a large container with a heater and we will have them in our class until next Thursday.

We wrote about what the chicks need so they can grow well.

Japanese Lesson

Yuitchi and his students taught a really exciting lesson about ogres. We made masks like the ones used in the story. 

We have loved having Akane in our classroom for the last 2 weeks, she will be missed!

Outdoor Learning

This week we have done a variety of learning, some outside and some in the lodge . All of us planted a range of seeds which we are going to look after. We practised tying knots in strawberry laces which we could then eat!

Some of us did some den building and some of us listened to the legend of Guatemalen worry dolls and had a go at making our own using sticks, wool and fabric.

French

We learnt how to name the parts of a plant in French and checked to see if our French beans had begun to germinate. We also began to learn the vocabulary for family members through songs and a story.

Stuart Rowson

We were extremely lucky to hear from Stuart Rowson who worked for the BBC, particularly Cbeebies. He told us all about his new book, that we can borrow from the school library!
