What have Y1 been up to?
Autumn 1
Wk 3 - 15.9.25
This week in Drawing Club the children have enjoyed the short film 'Catch it', in the film the meerkats cared for a special fruit until a vulture came and stole it! The children created ways the meerkats could protect the fruit and how the vulture was sneaky and managed to still get the fruit. The children wrote some super sentences.
In maths the children compared numbers using the vocabulary one more and one less, they then used this knowledge to place numbers on a number line and explain how they knew why the numbers went in their place on the number line.
We have begun to learn about Creation and thanksgiving, we have learnt the creation story and thought of big questions we would like to ask about our world.
Wk 2 - 8.9.25
The children have all settled well and are working really hard to show all the teachers in school their STAR learning behaviour.
In Drawing Club this week we learnt the traditional tale 'The Magic Porridge Pot'. The children used their imaginations to create ingredients a wizard might put in his spells and wrote some fantastic sentences.
In maths we have continued to recall ways of making numbers to 10 using the '5 and a bit' method. We have learnt how to represent this in different ways using part whole models and bar models.
In Art we have continued to focus on the artist Amy Sherald, we have explored pattern, colour and then created our own self portraits.
Wk 1 - 1.9.25
We have had a fabulous first week in Year 1, in Drawing Club we looked at the book 'You Choose' by Nick Sharratt and thought about the different things we would choose to be, live in and travel to.
In maths we have recalled ways of making numbers to 10 using our knowledge of '5 and a bit'.
We looked at the artist Amy Sherald and discussed how she uses colour in her paintings. We explored colour mixing and completed a colour wheel.
