Date: 1st Dec 2023 @ 3:59pm
This week Year 1 have worked so hard this week! In maths, we focused on Addition and Subtraction. We used a variety of practical resources to support our learning. We focused on fact families and used part-whole models to create number sentences, this week we were able to work out additions and subtractions!
In RE this week, we focused on our Christmas topic, we began discussing gifts and what it feels like to receive and give gifts. We shared some lovely thoughts as we discussed how giving gifts makes us feel warm inside and is often even better than receiving gifts. We discussed the times and reasons why we receive and give gifts. We created gifts of our own and discussed the importance of giving gifts at Christmas. We understood that God gave us the gift of Jesus as we explored the Nativity story in more detail.
This week we explored Wales as a part of our Geography topic ‘Where in the world are we?’. We focused on the United Kingdom and its countries, specifically Wales and its features. We looked at the national flower, and animal and even looked at some Welsh cuisine! We had the chance to taste some famous Welsh food!
We ended our week on a wonderful note! As weenjoyed a fun filled day on Friday 1st December. We were so excited to get involved in all things Christmas! It made us all so excited for the next few weeks, we can’t wait to celebrate the Christmas season as a class.
Have a lovely weekend everyone! We look forward to seeing you all on Monday.
