What a sunny week we have had in Year 1! The sun has been shining and our brains have been growing…it’s been a wonderful week. We have been making the most of this glorious sunshine and have been spending lots of time in our outdoor classroom. We have begun reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and have enjoyed it even better for reading it outside.
The children’s sunflowers are beginning to shoot up and some of us have even got a little leaf growing!
What have we been learning this week?
This week in RE we have learnt about how Jesus taught his disciples to pray. We then made a display in the classroom showing all the different ways that we can pray and reflected on how we like to pray.
In English, we have been using the joining word ‘but’ and have written some creative sentences about Mr McGregor and Peter Rabbit. The children will start writing The Tale of the Radish Robber next week and the more practise they get over the weekend - the more confident they will be! Please see Weekly Home Learning page, for more information.
In Maths we have been reviewing previous learning and have gone over any gaps in our understanding of place value within 50. Next week, we will be moving on to measuring length and height.
In RHE we read the parable of the Prodigal Son. We learned how God wants us to make good choices but that he is ready to forgive us, if we are sorry for our mistakes.
The photo that looks as if the children have turned into monkeys and are grooming each other, is actually them doing their Peer Massage together! This action was ‘the hairdresser’.
Hip-Hip-Hooray!
