What a fantastic week it has been for your little ones! We've had an incredible time exploring a variety of subjects and engaging in some fun and educational activities. Here's a recap of what the children have been up to:
English: Meerkat Mail - This week, the children have continued diving into the adventurous tale of Sunny the meerkat from "Meerkat Mail." We've been making inferences about Sunny's travels so far, discussing his feelings and actions as he visits different places. The children loved sharing their thoughts on why Sunny might be sending postcards home and what he's learning on his journey.
Maths: Number Line to 20 - In Maths, we've been focusing on the number line up to 20. The children have been practising finding one more and one less within this range. They've been doing a fantastic job, and it's lovely to see their confidence growing as they become more familiar with numbers.
DT: Healthy Plate - Our DT lessons have been all about creating a healthy plate. The children have learned about the importance of different food groups and have designed their own plates with fruits, vegetables, proteins, and starches. It's wonderful to see their enthusiasm for making healthy choices!
Geography: Hot and Cold Countries - In Geography, we've been exploring hot and cold countries, specifically in relation to the equator. The children have been identifying countries that are close to the equator and discussing the kinds of weather they might experience. They've been fascinated by the differences between these regions and our own.
Science: Signs of Winter - As we move deeper into winter, our Science lessons have focused on identifying signs of the season. We've been looking at changes in nature, such as the weather, temperature, and how animals adapt to the colder months. The children have enjoyed walking around school looking for these signs.
The children will have sounds-write homework this week and their sharing books for over the weekend.
Have a lovely weekend – Year 1 team.
