Y1 Friday 26th April 2024– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
In English we have written letters to Hermelin.
In Maths we have been counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.
In Science we have identified and named common wild plants and flowers in our school grounds.
In Geography we have discussed where we live and what we can see in our local area from our house.
In Computing we have learnt about algorithms- following on laptops and inputting them into the Beebots.
In D&T we have designed a sandwich including ingredients from plants.
Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:
√ Planning a letter to Hermelin.

Family discussion questions:
- What plants have you got in your garden?
- If you have 3 groups of 2 counters how many do you have? 3 groups of 10? 3 groups of 5?
- What is the purpose of a letter?
Looking forward:
In English we will use the book ‘Where the Wild things are’ to inspire our portal narrative writing unit.
In Maths we will be recognising and adding equal groups through repeated addition and making arrays to show ‘lots of’.
In Science we will dissecting parts of a flower to help us when naming their parts and in Geography we will be making aerial maps of our classroom using Lego.
Reminders:
- Our 14 day Reading Challenge has started again, so please write each time your child reads so they can earn 10 house points for their 14 consecutive reads. I will change books overnight on a Thursday
- Homework is spellings to learn and phonics based on our learning from this week. This will be marked together so any misconceptions can be address. Please complete this in pencil.
- PE this half term is Friday- please wear PE kits on this day.
If you have any questions please ask.
Thanks again for your continued support.
Kind regards and take care
