YR1 Looking Back & Forth

Looking back:

• We analysed our model text in English, taking ideas for our own writing.
• We started our new maths unit and learnt to count in 2s and 10s.
• We learnt a new sound: tch (ch)   

Highlights: 

• We loved going on our mini safari this week! We found lots of interesting invertebrates. 
• We enjoyed learning all about Goostrey and thinking about what we can see where we live.
• We learnt about how an invertebrates senses might be different to ours. 
• We learnt how to make our drawings look three-dimensional using tone.

Looking forward: 

• We will start going over previous sounds in our phonics lessons to prepare for the phonics screening check.
• We will learn to count in 10s.
• We will plan our non-chronological reports in English.
• We will learn about physical and human features of Goostrey. 
• We will use soft pastels to draw planets.

Questions to ask at home: 

• Can you read these words? witch, match, catch.
• Is Goostrey a village or a town?
• What is the difference between a village and a town? 
• What does 'tone' mean?
• Can you count to 10 in 2s? 
• Can you count in 10s to 100?
