Year 1 - Autumn 2 - Week 6
Date: 9th Dec 2022 @ 3:21pm
This week has been truly magical here in Year 1, and we are so proud of you all.
At the start of the week, we were blown away by the children incredible peformance in not one but two Nativities to their parents, not including the two additonal performances to Year 5 and 6. All the children took part, saying their lines loudly and clearly for all to hear. In addition to this, the children had to act, whilst singing 6 different songs at the appropriate time, carrying on even when the music stopped. We could not be more proud of you all, you all sparkled, showing our values of Hope, Imagine and Enjoy. Never stop sparkling, Year 1!
In Maths, we used our addition and subtraction knowledge to solve some festive colour by number problems and we were blown away at how amazing the whole of Year 1 were at recalling their number facts to 10. Next week, we will continue to cement this knowledge before moving onto Geometry.
In Science, we focused on the changing winter weather and loved learning about the tempretures needed to make the rain on the ground freeze. We then vetured outside and explored how the frozen water sparkled like glitter, writing our names in the frost. We will continue our topic of Seasons as the year goes on, exploring Spring and Summer when they too arrive.
In History, we investigated our final famous nurse, Mary Seacole, and learnt how for nearly 100 years, here incredible hard work during the Crimean war was forgotton about. It took several nurses in Jamica to remind the whole world, and especially Britian about her incredible work. We then compared her to Florence Nightingale and discussed what was similar and different about both ladies.
In RE we finished off our topic of Christmas, by exploring how God gave Jesus to us, his people as a gift. We discussed what this meant with children stating that they felt Jesus was sent to us to teach us both love and respect. After, we finished off our own gifts for our parents, which we will hand out next week!
