We have had a busy week full of wonderful learning! All children continue to access an appropriate RWI group – can your child tell you the sounds they have learnt this week? In Literacy, our Year 1 children have been detectives ensuring given sentences were correctly punctuated with a full stop and if not added one! We have worked really hard to hold sentences this week and punctuate them correctly! We continue to work on forming letters correctly! In Maths, Reception children are becoming experts at describing circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. We have continued to recognise numerals to 5, show quantities on 1 hand quickly and developed our conceptual subitising skills. We have been recreating arrangements of 3,4 and 5 dots and matching these to the correct numerals, recognised die arrangements and used the dice to link subitised amounts with 1 to 1 counting actions! Here we are in action making our own dot arrangements to match a previously shown one - we had to take pictures of it with our eyes and try and remember how the dots were arranged! Our Year 1 children have partitioned numbers one to five in a systematic, shown one more and one less than a number using representations and described them and counted a set of objects and matched the spoken number to the written numeral and number name. In music, we enjoyed beginning our ‘Music is in my soul’ topic. We worked hard to find and keep a steady beat, we played copycat rhythms, took it in turns to talk about the song and explore feelings, thoughts and emotions towards the song and tried to use musical language when describing the music. We sung together as a group, moved to the music and had lots of fun!!
In PSHE, we told our peers about our interests, family and experiences. In our circle times, we spoke in full sentences to say who was in our family and an activity that we like doing. We were very good at listening to our peers and waiting for our turn to talk! In Computing, Year 1 children started by looking at a picture of Henri Matisse. We learnt that he was an artist who was born in 1869 and died in 1954 and that in his later years, when he become ill, Matisse created collages made from cut-up pieces of paper. Next we looked at a picture of his artwork and spotted familiar shapes and understood that Matisse used bright colours. We thought about the following tools and whether they would be good for creating our own Snail painting on the computer. We said that we wouldn’t need to use the paintbrush/pencil as we didn’t need freehand lines – we decided the shapes would be better to use. We discussed how the paint pot was good for block filling shapes and the undo tool would be helpful if our shapes go wrong or if we coloured a block in the wrong colour. Then it was our turn to create our own interpretations of Matisse’s Snail! Team EO have also been working exceptionally hard to learn our nativity songs and lines – we are super excited for you to see it!!
