Y1 Friday 9th May 2025– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
Another great week in Year 1!
In English we have begun to explore ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ to inspire our writing.
In Maths we have identified and added together equal groups.
In Science we have hunted for trees, naming their parts and used a leaf spotting sheet to help us to identify and name them.
In D&T we have designed a sandwich including ingredients from a plant.
Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:
√ Counting to find equal groups.
√ Problem solving to make unequal groups equal by adding and taking away.
√ Making predictions about what our story of the half term is about using pictures from the story.
√ Exploring the meaning of words and phrases as part of group.
√ Using a picture to inspire and generate adjectives to describe nouns.
√ Running races and long jump in preparation for Sports Day in PE.
√ Learning the different graphemes that make the ‘ee’ sound.
√ Designing a sandwich including ingredients that come from a plants.
√ Using a leaf spotting sheet to identify trees in our school grounds.
Family discussion questions:
- What adjective could you use to describe the moon?
- Can you share 5 equally? Why not?
- What is an aerial view map?
Looking forward:
Next week we will begin analysing text based on ‘Where The Wild Things Are’, retrieving answers from the shared text and understanding alliteration and similes.
In Maths we will make arrays, doubles and make equal groups.
In D&T we will be making our sandwiches and after eating them (at home) we will evaluate them. We will continue to practise our cutting skills when cutting circles for our Kandinsky inspired artwork.
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
- Phonics homework has been sent home instead of spellings to learn.
- 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
