It’s been another busy week of learning in Year 1! I’ve been so proud of the children who haven’t been feeling 100% but have been full of enthusiasm for learning nonetheless. I’d also like to say a big thank you to the children; over the past week I have been really struggling with my voice. The children have been so patient, considerate and caring.
This week we have been writing the story of Supertato, using the story map. The children have been retelling the story with buckets of energy and smiles - they really have LOVED this focus story. The story map links directly to our home learning, please see the home learning page for all the details.
In maths, we have been learning all about 3-D shapes. The children loved sorting the shapes into groups, dependent on their properties. Can the children spot any shapes over the weekend? We have been looking at cubes, spheres, cuboids, pyramids, cones and cylinders. Next week we will be learning about 2-D shapes (circles, triangles, squares and rectangles).
In RE this week, the children have been reflecting on Mary and why she is so special to us. The children have learned that Mary is our mother too; she loves and cares for us, just like our own mummy’s. The children have shared some heart warming examples of the lovely things their mummy’s do, to show that they care. Please ask the children to share what they wrote about - it will make you feel warm and fuzzy!

Notices:
A friendly reminder for any borrowed clothes to be returned to school; a lot of knickers and spare PE clothes have not been returned. If your child sometimes has wet accidents, please can you ensure that they have a change of clothes, wipes and a plastic bag with them at school, at all times.
Yoga has now finished for the Autumn term. Please can children be dressed for outdoor PE on a Thursday and indoor PE on a Friday.
On Friday 13th December the children are all invited to wear silly socks and a festive jumper. Year 5 have organised this day to raise money for Brian House - a wonderful, local charity. We have already raised money from the pyjama day and Year 5 are full of hope that we can raise £1,000! Donations of £1 would be gratefully appreciated.
