In Literacy, our Year 1 children have begun a new unit of writing. The text driver for this piece of writing is “Where the Wild Things Are”. As a hook into our learning children watched a drawing tutorial for a wild thing and produced some wonderful drawing. We have been able to listen attentively to the story and answer questions about what has been read. We have learnt about the suffix ‘ed’ and know that when we add this to a verb it turns into past tense. In Maths, our Reception children been practising saying what the whole is when there are 2 equal parts, described the attributes they noticed for a group of objects and sorted these objects into groups based on attributes. We have described attributes of Numberblocks and sorted Numberblocks into ‘odd blocks’ or ‘even tops’ and we have investigated patterns of doubles. Our Year 1 children have been identifying a missing part when a whole is partitioned into two parts, combined two or more parts to make a whole and wrote expressions to represent the images we had and learnt to explain that the = sign can be used to show that the whole and the sum of the parts are equal. In Science, we learnt to describe and compare the structure of animals. We know that a bird is a bird because it has a beak, wings and feathers, that they hatch from eggs and that most birds can fly but some cannot such as penguins and ostriches. We know that reptiles have dry scaly skin and lay eggs on land. We learnt that amphibians live on land or water when adults, they live in water when young, have soft skin and lay eggs in water. We learnt that we are mammals because mammals have hair or fur, drink milk from their mummies and know that they can live on land or water. We know the features of fish are; gills, scales, fins and we know that they are water dwelling. On Thursday, we held our class assembly where we shared some of our learning from this year and performed last half-terms poem “Bedtime March-Past”. The children were amazing and thank you once again if you were able to join us.
