Hello,
This week in Year 1 we have been learning the traditional tale of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. We started the week exploring the story before creating our own individual story maps with captions and pictures. We ended the week acting out scenes from the story.
In Maths this week we have been practising doubling and halving. e.g double 4 is 8, half of 8 is 4. We did this through using cubes, counters and through playing games. We worked out that 16 can be split in half the most times out of all the numbers up to 20.
In topic time this week we have been sequencing the story of the gunpowder plot in History, in Science we have continued to learn about the weather, in RE we have started to learn the Christian story of Christmas, in Art we have been using foam boards and ink to make prints in our sketchbooks. We have also been using our afternoons to practise for our upcoming performance of ‘Whoops a daisy Angel’ which we will be held on the 4th December at 9:15 in the Theatre.
Please remember to bring back your child’s library book regularly so they get the chance to collect a new one each week. Please also remember to keep PE kits in school at all times so that they can join in their weekly PE lesson.
Have a lovely weekend.
The Year 1 team
