This weeks' learning:

In Literacy, Year 1 children have started a new piece of work using ‘The Smeds and The Smoos’ by Julia Donaldson as our text driver. We started the week looking at the front cover, discussing what we could see and predicting what might happen. Next we listened carefully to the story and were able to answer questions about it. We have learnt about the many different reasons we use a capital letter. We have learnt what an exclamation mark is and when to use one! Year 1’s are looking forward to writing a sequel to the story next week!

Here are some photos of us working hard during 'Hold A Sentence':

​In Maths, Reception children have been focusing on deepening their understanding of mathematical relationships within numbers to 10, specifically focusing on doubles and odd/even numbers.

We made 'Even Tops' and 'Odd Blocks' models - here we are sorting them into 'Even Tops' - numbers that have doubles. and 'Odd Blocks'
- odd numbers, the ones with the ‘odd blocks’ that don't have doubles.

​Year 1 children have used their knowledge of subtraction facts with 10 to subtract within 20. They have been learning to count in 2’s, 10’s and 5’s.

Computing - Year 1's:
Today, we began by opening our saved document from our last lesson. We discussed our posters and that the title is important because it’s what attracts the reader and should encourage the reader to read the rest of the writing. We worked with our talk partners to think about which tools from the toolbar we could use to make our title stand out. Then we explored changing the text the different tools trying out lots of different variations and changing the font.
