Term 1 Week 6

Hello all! :)

Another week full of fantastic learning has flown by!

Well, this week ...

In Literacy, we have been busy continuing to practice forming our letters ensuring they sit neatly on the line, use phonemes to spell (this week focusing on "ng") and have been using our knowledge of being a Victorian worker child to have a go at writing our very own diary entries for their hot tasks! I know all the adults in Ivy Class were very impressed with their efforts. :)
In Maths, we have been superstars learning to add 2 one digit and two digit numbers together. We were fantastic at using counters, drawing dots and using our fingers to count - though we still find number lines a little bit tricky!
In Art we had a go at using our knowledge of LS Lowery and our imagination to create an image of what our playground would look like with 'Matchstick people' on it.
In RE we learnt about the 'Golden Rule', reflected why this is special to Christians and how we can be mindful of this rule in our daily practice. "Treat others how you would like to be treated". The children had some fantastic real-life experiences of how they have shown kindness to others and how we can demonstrate this in school.
In PE the coach set up lots of circuits for children. This week was all about stamina and agility.
In science, we looked at how daylight hours change dependent on the season. The children were quite articulate in explaining the characteristics of each season and were fascinated about why daylight hours change!

They have tried very hard with all of their learning this week!

Gentle reminders and notes:

Please name your children's clothes; we have still have a growing amount of lost items this week and they will get sent to lost property if not named or claimed.
Please ensure your child comes to school with a coat. The weather is getting colder but the children still do play outside when weather permits!
Please ensure your children are practicing how to change clothes, the children in Year 1 are expected to be able to get changed independently for PE - whilst we help with the odd button or two, the class are expected to be able to do t-shirts and bottoms as well as put on their shoes.

Have a wonderful weekend all!
