Year 1 - Autumn 2 - Week 7
Date: 11th Dec 2024 @ 2:21pm
What a brilliant way to end 2024, and what fun we have had so far!
Miss Jones and the Year 1 team are incredibly proud of the hard work and determination that the whole of Year 1 have shown over the last term. The jump to KS1 can be tricky but the children have taken this within their stride. As the term comes to an end, we would love for the children to reflect proudly on all of their acheievements and to look forward to a very busy and exciting 2025!
This half term has been packed with highlights, plus plenty of festive fun. Here’s a look back at just some of the magical moments we’ve shared:
- Kindness Project: Year 1 filled the local community with kindness by spreading their kindness stones, near and far! The aim of this project was to put a smile on someone's face even just a little one!
- Festive Fun: We had a blast filming our Kindness Video, enjoying Party Day, a Santa Dash and celebrating with a Christmas Extravaganza.
- Nativity: The children worked incredibly hard to not only learn their lines but also a variety of songs and dance routines. We are so proud of how each and every child stood up with confidence in front of not one, but two, audiences. A massive well done, Year 1!
- History: We boarded the Titanic and explored the causes for its demise. We learnt about what life was like on board for variety of people and how, nowadays, things are different! We cannot wait to attend out workshop in the new year!
- DT: We investigated ships and created our own versions of the Titanic!
- Science: We have been exploring Autumn this half term as well as materials. We identified what different objects were made of around the classroom.
- Maths: We focused on our Place Value and Addition and Subtraction this term securing our understanding within 20. In addition to this we explored both 2D and 3D shapes!
- Phonics: We have all worked incredibly hard over the past term to develop our phonetical awareness and have worked hard to read our books confidently whilst developing fluency.
With all of this and more—including visits from Christmas Elves—it’s safe to say this term has been unforgettable!
From all of us here in the Year 1 team, we would like to say a huge thank you for our wonderful gifts. You have been extremely generous.
Until then, enjoy the holidays and get ready to step into Christmas!
Reminders for next half term:
- Our school trip to the Titanc workshop has been rearranged for 15th January. All information remains the same.
- PE days will remain the same: Wednesday and Friday.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
