Year 1 Week Beginning 20th January 2025
In Maths this week, Year 1 have been busy learning about 2D, and 3D shape. They have been identifying and naming shape, sorting shape according to properties, exploring patterns and creating picture and models from 2D and 3D shape.
In RE, the class learnt about the presentation of Jesus in the temple to Simeon and Anna, and then they retold the story, first orally and then in written form.
In English, the children finished writing up final editions of their own narratives, inspired by the short film, ‘Dangled’. They have also been continuing to develop oracy skills through more talk partner work, where they debated the question, ’Would you rather live in darkness or daylight for 24 hours a day?
In Geography, the children began their new topic about weather, and in Art, they continued to explore spirals, experimenting with lines, colour and blends.
The children also had lots of fun in their music lesson this week: they used the djembe drum to sound out the syllables in their names and learnt a special football chant.
During their computing lesson, they explored digital media and created their own self-portraits on the ipads and in PE. They continued their dance unit.
In Phonics, the children have been learning the following sounds:
- ou (as in soup, group, you)
- -mb (word ending, as in thumb, lamb)
- kn- (as in knife, knit, knot)
- -y (as in happy, silly, funny)
Spelling Shed this week focuses on the split digraph, ‘i-e’.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,
Ms Pemberton and the Year 1 team
