Y1 Friday 17th October 2025– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
Super learning and independence in Year 1 this week!
In Maths we have compared numbers and ordered objects on numbers using the language of greatest and smallest.
In Computing we have used the mousepad to control our curser when using a painting programme and used the internet safely.
We have published more work ready for exhibition and we cannot wait for you to see it!
Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:
√ Continuing to use our chopping arms to read and write words using phoneme from Phase 3.
√ Comparing weather in the seasons.
√ Ordering numbers based on their value.
√ Comparing numbers and objects in Maths.
√ Controlling the mousepad on the laptop to navigate Purple Mash.
√ Using colouring pencils and watercolours to create art work for our exhibition.
√ Practising singing for exhibition.
√ Layering collage materials to create textures.
√ Bowling and bouncing ball at a target in PE.
√ Using ‘happy breathing’ to help our Team H-A-P during My Happy Mind in PHSE.
√ Repeating and saying colours and numbers in French.
Family discussion questions:
- What month are we in? Is there a celebration in thiss month?
- If a word has ‘oo’ in it, what 2 sounds could it be? How will you know which is right?
- Order these numbers greatest to smallest- 6,9,0
Looking forward:
Next week we will finish our place value unit in Maths.
We will be doing quizzes to consolidate our Maths and Science learning.
We will be singing and performing for you each day and we are so excited to see our work at the exhibition.
Reminders:
Book change on Thursday- please ensure books are in school so these can be changed overnight.
Please continue to read every night. If this could be recorded in reading diaries so I can track progress for our 14 day Reading Challenge.
Just to clarify- Reading challenges are counted up every Thursday during book change and then awarded on Friday (backdated if awarded before that). We celebrate this achievement as a class all together.
Exhibition- On Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd October Exhibition from 2pm-6pm the exhibition will be in the Junior Hall. We will be performing from 2:45pm on the Infant Playground on both days- please join us if you can.
Nativity- Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th December 9:30am.
Thank you for your continued support.
