Year 1 - Autumn 1 - Week 6

Date: 12th Oct 2023 @ 4:29pm

We have had a fantastic week in Year 1. It has been filled with so much fun and excitement.

We started the week with a very exciting visitor, we were lucky enough to have a current NHS nurse come to answer our questions on how nursing has changed over the years. We were so enthusiastic when asking questions, and were eager to share all of our knowledge on Florence Nightingale, she was blown away! We told her how grateful we are for the fantastic work nurses do, as she helped us understand her daily roles and routines when caring for people. We were so inspired by her kindness, lots of us hope to be nurses when we grow up!

In Maths this week we began our new topic on part whole models. We enjoyed using practical resources to explore the structure of a part whole model, we had some great mathematicians sharing their number fact knowledge. We then consolidated our new learning by putting our practical models into number sentences.

In Music this week we had so much fun finding the pulse, as we used different senses to find and keep a steady pulse. We discussed how the pulse is the heartbeat of the music, and used the sound of our hearts to help us replicate a steady beat. We have some brilliant musicians in Year 1!

We celebrated Hello Yellow Day this week, as we created our very own class paper chain. We joined each individual together to represent how we are all connected by the special bond we have as TSP family.

This week we especially enjoyed a day in our PJs as we took part in Alder Hey PJ day! We loved taking part in activities to mark this special day. We feel very lucky to be a part of such a fantastic school family.
