In Literacy, Year 1 children have worked hard to hold sentences ensuring they are punctuated correctly with a capital letter and full stop. On Wednesday we composed our own sentences about what the tiger was doing and on Thursday we enjoyed our tea party with our favourite teddy where we read them our wonderful sentences! We continue to work hard practising our letter formation – please ensure your child is practising at home (starting and finishing in the correct place). In Maths, for our Year 1 children it has been assessment week and they have completed a 15-mark reasoning paper – they have made Miss Overton super proud! We have also been learning to reason about the location of numbers to 20 on a number line. Children know that 5 is located halfway between 0 and 10 and therefore 15 is located halfway between 10 and 20 as they both have 5 ones. The children have worked hard on locating the correct position of numbers on number lines and explaining how they know that it goes there! Our Reception children have continued to recognise and order numerals from 1-5, match numerals to quantities in order, built towers in order from 1-5 squares, seen the staircase pattern and recognised that each number is 1 more and represented staircase patterns in different ways, knowing that each new ‘step’ is 1 more than the last. Our Art learning this week has linked closely to our learning on rainbows! This week we have revisited colour mixing and looked at the work of Kandinsky. We know that Kandinsky was a Russian painter. When we looked at his painting we could identify that he had used circles and squares to create his painting as well primary and secondary colours! I am sure you will agree that we did a fantastic job at recreating the work of Kandinsky. In Science we have been learning about resistance and friction. We know that resistance is a force that slows down a moving objects and that friction occurs when two things rub against each other. The children experimented with cars and two different surfaces and now know that when the surface is smooth the resistance is less and the further the car will travel. They also know that when the surface is rough the resistance is more and the less the car will travel.
