16th September 2014

Year 1 2014-2015

The children have had a busy start to the term. Our topic is 'Ourselves' . The children have used oil pastels to produce a self portrait and they have used paint to make hand prints. They have been thinking about how they are the same as their friends and how they are different.






 
Science
In Science the children have drawn a life size child, thanks to Sam our volunteer, and they have been naming the parts of the body. They have also made a physical bar chart to find the most common eye colour in the class. They concluded it was blue.
 



English
The children brought in their special toys to talk about and show the class. We have continued our English lessons by looking at some stories about lost toys. You might want to ask them what happened to Knuffle Bunny!

History
Thank you parents for sending in the children's baby photos. They have been thinking about their own history and how they have changed over time.

Maths
We have been working on number. The children have been taught how to form the numbers correctly. I would like the children to keep practising the numbers they find difficult as this is a key skill we need to get right in Year 1. The children have learnt some rhymes to help them to remember the formation.
