This week in Year 1 we have been super busy! We used our Ugly Duckling Performance from last week to retell the story in our Literacy writing. We used ‘and’ to join two sentences together and used our oracy skills to discuss how the characters felt in the story. Additionally, we have been practising our common exception words and making sure we can recognise them! In Maths, we have used number lines to count back in ones, to work out a subtraction equation. In PE, we used the equipment in the gym to develop our balancing skills! Phonics: oy, ea, ou Tricky Words: all, are, I. |

This week in Year 1, we have been working really hard in Maths as we learnt what the word commutative means. We worked out different maths equations using part whole models and number lines and realised if we switch our parts around, the answer stays the same! In Literacy, we have been writing short, simple sentences based on the lifecycle of a frog from our text ‘Slow Down’ and enjoyed our super exciting performance of The Ugly Duckling on Wednesday! In Music, we have continued to use the fairytale of The Three Little Pigs to clap different sound patterns that we hear in the story. Phonics: ay, oy, ou, ea Tricky words: said, says, you, do, like, little |

This week, Year 1 have been busy looking at what happens to the trees around us in the Autumn and Winter. Can you ask us what the difference between a deciduous tree and an evergreen tree is? In Literacy, we structured our sentences using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces whilst we wrote about the Autumn leaves on the trees turning orange. In Maths, we have used part whole models and different resources to help us add two numbers together. In Art, we are learning all about Kathy Pallie and the sculptures she creates. We rolled, carved, cut and moulded playdough into different shapes before we use clay next week! Phonics: th, sh, ch, qu Tricky words: was, they, come some, sure |

Year 1 have had so much fun this week! In Literacy, we have started to look at our new text, Slow Down. We met our character Squirrel, as she hunted for acorns and buried them in Autumn ready to dig them up again in Winter. We discussed what we would bury if we were a Squirrel! In Maths, we are continuing to look at numbers to 10 but using resources to work out one more and one less than a given number. In Science, we planted our sweet pea seeds and are excited to look after them and watch them grow over the next few weeks! Phonics: ch, sh, ai, oa Tricky words: what, when, he, she |
