Year 1 - Autumn 1 - Week 2

Date: 18th Sep 2022 @ 6:05pm

We have had another fantastic week here in Year 1, full of fun and laughter!

We started the week by marking Roald Dahl day and were inspired by his fantastic story ‘The Enormous Crocodile’. We knew that we needed to tell the whole school that a naughty crocodile was on the loose so decided to create our very own wanted posters! We also decided to get crafty, creating our own Roly Poly birds and a very, very ENORMOUS crocodile.

In Maths, we began to look at our new topic ‘Place Value’. We started by revisiting sorting and counting objects. We had to think carefully as not to count the same object twice. Next week, we will continue to focus on place value, counting objects from larger groups using 1 to 1 correspondence.

In English, we enjoyed exploring our new books and developing our writing skills, saying, and holding our sentences carefully before writing using appropriate punctuation.

This week we started our new RE topic Harvest, by investigate how the food we eat come from different parts of the world. We each created our own pita pizzas by first identify where the topping came from before adding it to our pizza. We amazed that some of our topics came from as far as Morocco and recognised that packaging with the flag of Great Britain on, is produced here.

In Music, we have been working hard to learn our harvest songs in preparation for Friday. Our favourite song at the moment is the ‘Harvest Samba’ we just cannot stop ourselves from dancing!

Don’t forget to follow our Twitter account @Year1TSP to see our learning highlights throughout the week.

From everyone here in Year 3, we wish you a pleasant weekend and look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.
