Our learning has focused on anti-bullying week and being kind. We started the week by wearing odd socks and listening to ‘Simon Socks’ by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet. After listening carefully to the story we spoke about how Simon was sad because he felt left out because he didn’t have a pair. We also discussed that we were wearing odd socks to help us remember that it is not nice to feel left out and we should always try to play with others. We have thought about the different ways we can show kindness such as; smiling at people, offering to help, checking others feel okay and giving a hug to name a few. We have learnt that being kind can make others feel happy. As part of anti-bullying week we have also enjoyed listening to several Elmer stories. The Elmer story taught us that it is okay to be different. We looked at the ways we are different such as; eye colour, hair colour, who we live with, if we have any pets, the languages we speak and our favourite fruit. Our learning activities this week have included; matching the pairs of socks, creating our own odd socks, creating an Elmer and using a pipette to fill the holes on Duplo with water. Reception children continue to access appropriate RWI groups. Our Year 1 children have worked hard to hold sentences and have produced amazing writing with capital letter, finger spaces and full stops. We then practised re-reading our sentences before we went to present our writing to Miss Clementson and the Rainbows. We could speak with confidence about what our text driver was and what we had been working on! In Maths, Reception children started the week learning to describe the properties of circles, squares, triangles and rectangles and we will continue with this next week. We have investigated ways to compose and de-compose sets of 3 and know that 1 and 2 are parts of 3. We have also investigated ways to compose and de-compose 4 and used spatial language to describe our stampoline patterns and we also investigated ways to compose and de-compose 5. Year 1 children have used a part-whole model to represent a whole partitioned into more than two, explained that numbers can represent how many objects there are in a set, explained that ordinal numbers show a position and not a set of objects and partitioned the numbers one to five in different ways. In Geography, we looked at our local area and learnt to identify physical and human features of geography within Wombwell. In Computing, our Year 1 children began the new unit on ‘Creating Media – Digital Painting’. Within this lesson they used Paint and explored the different freehand tools – paintbrush, pencil, eraser, fill tool, spray can and undo tools to create a picture of themselves.
