Year 1 Week Beginning 9.9.24
Year 1 have had a very busy week of learning!
In Maths, the children have been focussing on:
- sorting, counting, and representing objects, using manipulatives
- applying their maths skills to real life problem-solving and reasoning questions
In Science, the class were learning to identify and name parts of the body. They had lots of fun playing games and singing songs and rhymes, to test their knowledge of the parts of the body and recap and recall key vocabulary.
In RE, Year 1 have been learning about how we can get closer to God through scripture, tradition, creation and human experience. They have also been learning how to correctly make, describe and explain the Sign of the Cross.
In English, the children have been focussing on the book Beegu by Alexis Deacon. The book is about a little alien who is lost on Earth and meets lots of unfriendly Earth people. Year 1 have been thinking and writing about how they think a little girl alien came to be on her own on planet Earth. They have also been: writing about Beegu’s feelings, and facts about space, creating their own alien models, making ‘alien community’ drawings and constructing models inspired by space.
This afternoon, Year 1 enjoyed their first PE lesson in the sunshine! They then took part in the whole school mass to celebrate the start of the new school year.
Thank you to the parents who came to the meet the teacher session on Wednesday. For those of you who weren’t able to make it, the PowerPoint will be uploaded by our website providers shortly. They will also be uploading the curriculum overview for this term.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Ms Pemberton and the Year 1 team
