Year 1 Blog- Friday 14th October 2022

Date: 13th Oct 2022 @ 9:56am

Welcome to your Friday blog.

It was lovely to see all of you at parents' evening. Thank you for coming.

English

This week we have been learning through the story of Percy the Park Keeper. He had a big job to do when all the animals lost their homes after the storm.

We designed parks, wrote about what jobs we'd like to do when we grow up and imagined what we'd be able to see, smell, touch and feel during a storm. We are getting really good at sharing our learning and talking about it.

Phonics

We have been learning ph as in phew, wh as in whistle and ew as in stew.

Maths

We have been learning about subtraction using the part whole model. We have been writing the number sentences in different ways. We have also been singing some number songs. We have also looked at all the ways to make 10.

R.E.

We talked about Jesus and how he shows love to other people.

Geography

We looked at pictures of Longton in the past and we wrote about how it has changed.

P.S.H.E.

We compared ourselves to our friends in terms of what we look like, what we like to do and what we like to eat.

French

Everyone made either a green leaf or an orange leaf and used it to join in with a leaf poem.

Music

We practised our songs for our Harvest celebration. We played some of the instruments.

Art

We sketched half a leaf and then did a handprint which formed the leaves on a tree.

P.E.

We were running fast between cones.

We did some rolling in gymnastics

Outdoor Learning

This week we have been building obstacle courses. Our ideas were really imaginative and our team work was superb. We had to test our course to make sure it was safe and we demonstrated our couse to everyone-then we all had a go! There was balancing, jumping, and even some limbo! Some of the courses even had a name!

Our other session was about making a stick person. We talked about finding forked sticks and we went into our nature area to see what we could find. We used elastic bands, string and pipe cleaners to attach the sticks together. Some of us leart a technique called lashing to securely fasten the sticks.
