Year 1 News – 21.7.23

Phonics

In phonics we have been practising reading and spelling the year 1 key words. We have also enjoyed reading lots of tricky word silly sentences!

English

In English this week we have been thinking about what we have enjoyed most in Year 1. The children then wrote some brilliant sentences and drew some fantastic pictures about their favourite things.

Maths

In maths we have be learning to tell the time. We have used clocks to practise telling the time for o’clock and half past. We have also enjoyed solving true or false problems with a partner.

Geography

We have recapped the four seasons in geography. We have learnt that we are now in the season of summer. We have recorded the weather this week and compared it to the weather in winter, autumn and spring. The temperature has been milder than other seasons but unfortunately we have still seen lots of clouds rain!

We have also looked at human and physical features. We learnt that human features are features that would not be there without a human. We learnt that physical features appear naturally.

History

In history we have continued with our work on Grace Darling. This week we discussed the enquiry question ‘Did Grace really carry out the rescue on her own?’. We looked at different pictorial representations of the rescue and had fun acting the pictures out.

Sports Day

The children had a brilliant time at Sports Day and they all did fantastic!

Music

We have really enjoyed learning our song this half term. Here are our final performances!

1B

1P

PPA

This half term the children have discussed the question ‘Why do we care about people?’ in RE. They have enjoyed creating clay animals and drawing animal prints in art and making a fruit smoothie in cooking.
