Y1 Friday 13^th June 2025– Looking Back & Forth

Looking back: 

I am super proud of Year 1- they have worked so hard when reading real and fake words this week!

In English, we have read phoneme spotters and sorted words based on their sound.

In Maths, we have recognised and found quarter of shapes and quantities.

In Science and Geography, we have sorted clothes that we would wear in summer or winter based on their materials and identified those we could wear in both seasons and why.

In Science we have sorted sea shore animals into groups.

Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:

√ Finding phonemes in phoneme spotters.

√ Reading text as a class and answering retrieval and inference questions based on what we have read.

√ Recognised and found quarter of shapes and quantities.

√ Team games and running races in PE.

√ Sorting sea shore animals into groups based on their features.

√ Beginning our RE unit about Hinduism.

√ Sorting clothes we would wear in summer or winter based on their materials.

√ Doing brilliantly when reading our real and fake words.

 

Family discussion questions:

• What does the word mysterious mean?
• Will you say 68 when counting backwards from 100 to 70?
• Are there any clothes you might wear in both winter and summer?

Looking forward:

In English, we will begin to explore our book for this half term ‘The Secret of Black Rock’- we have made predictions and explored words and phrases.

In Maths, we will begin our place value to 100 unit. We will be counting to 100, using a number line and partitioning numbers by tens and ones.

In Science, we will be labelling the features of sea animals

In Art and D&T, we will be exploring African prints and using these to inspire our designs before using the skill of printing to bring them to life.
