Y1 Friday 26th September 2025– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
Another fantastic week in Year 1- great effort to complete independent work and attitude to learning!
The children adored our Forest School morning on Monday- we were so lucky with the weather!
In Maths we have counted objects and represented them in a tens frame.
In English we have used adjectives to describe our friends and put these ideas into sentences including capital letters and full stops.
In Art we have layered coloured materials to create textured collages for exhibition.
In Science we have completed a tally chart which has helped us to create pictograms on the laptops, in Computing.
Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:
√ Continuing to use our chopping arms to read and write words using phoneme from Phase 3.
√ Writing about our friends using capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and adjectives in our sentences.
√ Using different materials to create collages for our exhibition.
√ Creating a pictogram on the laptops based on data we collected.
√ Counting objects and representing them in tens frames.
√ Moving in different ways and bowling in PE.
√ Continuing to repeat and saying greetings, count to 10 and colours in French.
√ Learning about the features of a church in RE.
√ Enjoying our Forest School morning on Monday.
Family discussion questions:
- What adjectives would you use to describe your best friend?
- What are the features of a church?
- What is the weather like at the moment? Is it different to the weather in summer? If so, in what way?
Looking forward:
Next week, in Science, we will put our senses to the test whilst working through ‘Senses Stations’
In Maths we will be counting on from any number and finding one more before beginning to count backwards.
In Art we will be using pastels and water colours to complete pictures for 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.
Thank you for your continued support
