YR1 Looking Back & Forth

We have had a lovely, sunny week in Year 1!

Looking back: 

• We used cubes and balancing scales to measure the mass of objects in maths. 
• We learnt two new sounds in phonics: ph (f) and c (s)
• We wrote some amazing character descriptions in English using noun phrases. 

Highlights: 

• We listened to music as a stimus for our art this week. We created some lovely pieces of expressive art as a class. 
• We learnt all about insects in science. 
• We learnt about Neil Armstrong's life before he was an astronaut. 
• We enjoyed the sunshine! Some of us even did some sunbathing! 

Looking forward: 

• We will look at capacity and volume in maths next week. 
• We will think about the things we would need to pack for a safari in science.
• We will learn all about the events of the moon landing and put them in order in history. 
• We will look at making curved lines using lots of different materials in art. 

Questions to ask at home: 

• Can you read these words? magic, phone, face
• How many legs does an insect have? 
• What is an exoskeleton? 
• What did Neil Armstrong do before he became an astronaut?
