Looking Back & Forth 1.5.26

We have had another lovely sunny week in Year One!

Looking back:

• We designed our own 'Wild Things' and wrote character descriptions about them in English. 
• We finished our mass and volume unit in maths. 
• We learnt two new sounds: ie (ee) and ea (e)

Highlights:

• We enjoyed using soft pastels, oil pastels and charcoal to draw curved lines in art. 
• We ordered the events of the first moon landing in history. 
• We learnt about safaris in science and discussed what we will need to take on our own mini safari.
• We have loved playing on the field in the sunshine! 

Looking forward: 

• We will start our new maths unit: Multiplication and division. We will learn to count in 2s, 5s, and 10s. 
• We will analyse our model text in English to give us ideas for our own reports. 
• We will focus on curved lines again to create a realistic moon drawing.
• We will go on a safari in our school field to look for invertebrates. 

Questions to ask at home:

• Can you read these words? shield, field, bread, head.
• What is an invertebrate? 
• What is the difference between volume and capacity? 
• What did Neil Armstrong do on the moon?
