Year 1 Week Beginning 7.10.24

The English focus for this week has centered around the wonderful story Amara and the Bats by Emma Reynolds.

The story is about a young girl and her mission to save the bats in her local area. The children have been busy finding out about some of the 1420 different species of bats and have created non-fiction texts about them. They have also thought about endangered animals, painted bat inspired painting, made 3D bats and have written about their own favourite animals.

Next week, the class would love to make some bat boxes; if possible, please can you send in any clean, nut and egg free recycling for them to use in their creations? Thank you!

In Maths, the class have been learning about ‘greater than, less than and equal to’ and the associated mathematical symbols. ( <, >, =)

In RE, Year 1 continued with their work on the Holy Trinity, representing their understanding pictorially, by working together in small groups. They also experienced a meditation session where they reflected on God’s impact on their own lives and the special gifts God gave them when he created them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Science, the children, explored their sense of touch. They identified that touch is sensed by the skin. They learnt that skin covers the human body and that touch can be sensed at any point on the body through contact with the skin. Working in groups, the class then explored and compared different textures,, in order to gain a solid understanding of the key vocabulary used in this step.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,

Ms Pemberton and the Year 1 team
