The Year 1 Team
We have had a great week back! Miss Draper was so impressed with how quickly we all settled in. It was lovely to share all our activities over the Christmas holidays.
This week we have been doing lots of science activities. We revisited the body and learnt our five different senses – can you share them at home? We got to use our senses in several different games – our favourite one was where we were blindfolded and had to find out who took Miss Draper’s keys!
We finished off our week by revisiting the seasons – Miss Draper was so impressed at what we already knew. We also learnt that seasons are a result of the Earth travelling around the Sun. Can you share your experiences with your parents? You are welcome to come in and take a look at our Science floor book which has lots of photos.
We look forward to next week where we will be starting our new topic. We will be sharing all of our home learning and finding out what we already know. Our classroom is slowly being transformed to 1666 London – please come in and take a look!
1c have been learning A.A. Milne’s poem, “When I am six”. We learnt the poem by heart, using actions to help us. We’ve now innovated our poem as a class – come in and see what we have come up with!
Next week we will be creating our own poems – can you have a think at home? What did you do when you were one, two, three, four and five; and what will you do now/when you are six?
Year One have been practising “What I Am” by Will.i.am this week, ready for our performance on Tuesday. Please practise lots at home!
To get us thinking about algorithms, we helped Miss Draper to make jam sandwiches by giving her instructions. It soon got very messy and Miss Draper’s hand ended up in the butter! We learnt that our instructions need to be very precise!
On Friday, we spent the afternoon transforming our environment for our All About Me project. We used paper plates, crepe paper and other crafty bits to create a portrait of ourselves. We also designed our own luggage labels, ready for the next phase of our project: the World. When we return, we will be looking at the United Kingdom and the different countries within it. We will also be looking at the flags of these countries. We will also begin to explore Europe – I wonder how many European countries we already know?
We look forward to you viewing our art when we return back to school!
On Friday when we returned from lunch Miss Draper’s chair had disappeared! All that was left were a few dusty hand and foot prints. We set about trying to solve the mystery and luckily for us some detectives came in to help us. They shared with us what they look at to solve mysteries. We learnt that we would need to look at hair and eye colour, height, hand and foot prints. To help us, we also made some magnifying glasses so we could look at clues up close. During the afternoon, the detectives sent through some additional clues. We now had a list of four possible people responsible. Looking carefully, we were able to identify a couple of the eyes and hair styles. By the end of the day we had discovered where Miss Draper’s chair had disappeared too!
Perhaps you can share your findings with your parents!
We have been showing high learning zones this week in our Literacy and Maths lessons. In Literacy we have been writing out our innovated text about “The smartest crocodile in the pond”, using sound mats to help us. We also have our very own Snappy the Crocodile in class! Feel free to take a look. In Maths we have been solving addition number sentences. We have also been looking at our number bonds. Number bonds are what we will be focusing on in our Flexibility & Fluency maths sessions – can you practice these at home?
0 + 10 = 10, 1 + 9 = 10, 2 + 8 = 10, 3 + 7 = 10, 4 + 6 = 10, 5 + 5 = 10, 6 + 4 = 10, 7 + 3 = 10, 8 + 2 = 10, 9 + 1 = 10, 10 + 0 = 10
