Term 1 Week 7

Hello all! :) 

As another week flies past, Ivy Class have had an exceptional Friday! 

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 "ch"). In addition to this, we have had a big focus on punctuating our sentences with capital letters and full stops.  
  • In Maths, we shifted our focus from doubling at the beginning of the week to identifying one more and one less within 20. We will continue to secure our knowledge of this next week.
  • In Art we continued to use our knowledge of LS Lowery and Claude Monet and, of course, our imagination to create a piece of art inspired by a combination of the two artists.  
  • In RE we learnt about the Christian creation story. We were able to sequence events and discuss why it was important to Christians.
  • In PE the coach set up lots of circuits for children. This week was all about teamwork and resilience.
  • In Science, we looked at the results from our rain gauges and recording them with accuracy. 
  • In PSHE we learnt what a gender stereotype is. We read a fantastic story, discussed our opinions and then looked at what we would like to do in the future regardless of gender stereotypes!

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

Gentle reminders and notes:

  • Victorian day 24th October!
  • 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!
