Independent Learners
Our Year 1 children have been enjoying our outdoor area today accessing the continuous provision independently. It is lovely to see the children engaged and enjoying their learning.
3, 2, 1 Blast Off !
In maths today we have been looking at the number line and counting backwards from 10. We pretended that we were astronauts and ordered numbers backwards on our rockets.
Fine motor fun!
We have been building the tiny muscles in our fingers in class one using lots of fine motor equipment! We stretched bands, pinched with the tweezers, twisted pipe cleaners and turned nuts and bolts! What a super way to help our fingers become even stronger!
Creativity in the mud kitchen!
We have loved making soups in our mud kitchen today! We used our creativity and imagination to get very messy making sloppy soups and mud pies!
We love to read!
We love to vote for our favourite story, explain what we can see on the tens frame and count the votes and then all participate in story time! Ask me about what we read today!
We can match!
We have been learning all about matching in reception maths! We have used the words match, alike, same, different, unlike and duplicate to talk about the pairs!
World War I
This week we have started our new topic in history - World War I. We read the poem In Flanders Fields and created our own watercolour paintings inspired by the poem. We hope you like them!
RE: Creation
Today we started our new RE unit, What do Christians learn from the Creation Story?. As a class, we explored the outdoor areas of our school. We took pictures of all of the wonderful things God has created and discussed why they are so special.
Marvellous Maths
In Year 1 our maths has got off to a fantastic start. We have been sorting, counting and representing numbers up to 10.
Creating face!
We are having lots of fun learning more about our face and the features on our face! We have been creating faces using facial feature stones and magnets. We have learnt a song all about our facial features. Ask us to sing it when we get home!
Flower power!
We had a super week learning around the book ‘Flower Power’. We met the author, painted flowers and talked about what makes us bloom!
Phonics Hunt
We got our Monster Phonics session off to a good start today by working in pairs to hunt for common exception words. We had to read and write down as many words as we could find.
