In Literacy, our Year 1 children have worked hard to write sentences in the past tense using the suffix ‘ed’. We have practised forming capital letters correctly and saying letter names and we have been learning to say, read and write the days of the week. Reception children have started new RWI groups appropriate to their stage of learning. Our Reception children have also started to access handwriting groups! In Maths, our Year 1 children have been adding parts to find the value of the whole and have written equations to match. We then moved on to finding the missing addend in an equation. Next, we have explored partitioning a whole into two parts and have expressed this with a subtraction equation. On Thursday, we made addition and subtraction stories and wrote equations to match. On Monday, Reception children learnt to make and continue ABB patterns. Reception have worked hard on counting this week – we have revisited the rules for counting and we have discussed strategies for counting larger sets! We have counted things that cannot be seen (sounds) and we have counted out 20 objects from larger sets! In History, we have continued our learning on the Great Fire of London. This week we have been ordering the events of the fire. We know that the fire started in a bakery shop on Pudding Lane as the oven fire wasn’t put out correctly and a spark fell onto the wooden floor. We know that it spread because the houses were close together, made out of wood and that it was windy! We also discussed the effect the fire had on London – like houses being built out of different materials and further apart! In Computing, our Year 1’s recapped that buttons are used to give robots instructions. For our first activity we pretended to be robots and we had to follow instructions given to us by Miss Crookes just like the bee-bots have to. This meant we couldn’t do anything we hadn’t been instructed to do. For our second activity, we started by talking to our partner about words or short phrases that are or can be used as instructions (see photo below). For our third activity, we tried giving out the instructions on the list we made as a class with our partners. Partner 1 gave the instruction and Partner 2 acted out the instruction. Finally, we thought of instruction words to move each other around the room – we added these to our class list photo below). We then tried the movement instructions out with each other. In PSHE, we have begun looking at things that keep us safe. We discussed the important of listening to adults and we know that adults give instructions to keep us safe. We have thought about why we must hold an adults hand to cross the road and why we shouldn’t run away from adults in parks, shops, near water or roads – can your child remember any of the reasons why?
