Star Learner Spotlight: Maia
Let's kick things off by celebrating our star learner, Maia! 🌟 Maia continually impresses us all with her outstanding manners and her unwavering commitment to hard work. Every day, she sets a fantastic example for her classmates, showing us what it means to be dedicated and respectful. Well done, Maia! Maths Adventures In Maths, we've been diving into multiplication. Recently, we've been exploring the fascinating world of numbers, learning to count in 2s, 5s, and 10s. But that's not all - we've also been delving into the concept of arrays, discovering how they can help us visualize multiplication and division. Additionally, we've embarked on a brand-new literary adventure with the book Lost and Found. As we journey through the pages of this enchanting story, we're sharpening our reading skills and uncovering valuable lessons along the way. In our grammar sessions, we've been busy adding a magical touch to our writing by learning how to use the "_ed" suffix to transform verbs into the past tense. From "jump" to "jumped," "walk" to "walked," we're mastering the art of storytelling one verb at a time. Exploring the Wonders of Science In the realm of science, we've been captivated by the beauty of nature as we've embarked on an exploration of wild flowers. Through hands-on activities and outdoor observations, we're developing a deeper appreciation for the intricate ecosystems that surround us. As we continue our scientific journey, we're eager to uncover more secrets of the natural world and foster a sense of wonder and curiosity that will stay with us for years to come. Have a wonderful bank holiday weekend! Kind regards, Mrs Budiman Dear Parents,
Our Star Learner: Elijah Let's start off with a round of applause for Elijah, our star learner this week! Elijah has truly embodied the spirit of resilience in the face of challenges. Whether it's tackling tricky math problems or persevering through difficult tasks, Elijah has shown us all what it means to keep going even when things get tough. Well done, Elijah! Literacy Adventures: Rewriting "Cave Baby" In Literacy, our budding writers have been hard at work rewriting the beginning of the story "Cave Baby". Armed with their creative minds and sharpened pencils, the children delved into the world of prehistoric times, crafting their own versions of the story. Not only did they rewrite the beginning, but they also took on the role of editors, polishing their work to perfection. The result? Some truly amazing pieces of writing that would make even the most seasoned authors proud! Mathematical Marvels: Counting and Multiplication Over in Math, we've been diving into the world of multiplication and division. But before we could jump into those, we've been honing our counting skills, learning to count in 2s, 5s, and 10s. From chanting numbers to skip counting games, our young mathematicians have been sharpening their numerical abilities, laying the foundation for more complex concepts ahead. Get ready for some multiplication and division fun in the coming weeks! Healthy Living in PSHE: Exploring Healthy Eating In PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education), we've been focusing on the importance of healthy eating. The children have been learning all about nutritious foods, the benefits they provide, and how they contribute to our overall well-being. Armed with this knowledge, we'll be putting it into action later in the term as we embark on an exciting project: designing and making healthy smoothies! Get your blenders ready, because we're about to blend up some delicious and nutritious concoctions! PE Adventures: Racing and Relay On the field, our little athletes have been mastering the art of running in races and relay. From sprinting to pacing themselves, they've been building up their speed and endurance, all while having a blast with their friends. With each race and relay, they're not only improving their physical fitness but also learning the value of teamwork and sportsmanship. Watch out, world, our Year 1s are ready to race! That's all for now from our Year 1 class. Kind regards, Mrs Budiman Hello Year 1 Families,
As we wrap up another exciting term, we wanted to take a moment to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents who kindly provided treats for our wonderful end-of-term party. Your generosity and support truly made it a special celebration for our young learners. Maths Corner: Exploring Mass In maths this week, we dove into the world of mass! The children had a blast exploring the concept of weight and mass through various hands-on activities and games. From comparing the mass of different objects to sorting them based on weight, our little mathematicians showed great enthusiasm and understanding. Literacy Adventures: Crafting Sentences with Noun Phrases In literacy, we embarked on a journey to enhance our sentence-building skills. The focus was on creating descriptive and engaging sentences using noun phrases. It was incredible to see the creativity and imagination our students displayed as they crafted their own sentences, painting vivid pictures with words! Religious Education: Discovering Jewish Celebrations This week in RE, we delved into the rich tapestry of Jewish faith and culture. Our young learners learned about the celebrations and traditions of the Jewish faith, including Shabbat, Sukkot, and Chanukah. Through stories, discussions, and interactive activities, we gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for these significant cultural practices. We have made our own model versions of a sukkah for Sukkot and completed colourful Chanukah paintings depicting the menorah. As we bid farewell to this term and look forward to the upcoming half term break, we want to wish all our students and their families a fantastic and rejuvenating holiday. Thank you once again for your continuous support and partnership in your child's education journey. We can't wait to see what exciting adventures await us in the next term! Warm regards, Mrs Budiman The children had a busy week this week and came well dressed for Red Nose Day on Friday. Thank you for your donations to this cause both monetary and in the form of delicious cakes.
Literacy In Literacy the children worked incredibly hard to produce some amazing stories based the the book the Sea Saw. Please see attached George's story. This is a great effort in Year 1 and I admire the children's resilience in completing their stories. They worked hard to independently use punctuation and interesting word choices. Maths We are coming to the end of our work on Place Value and numbers to 50. The children have learnt about the value of numbers in two digit numerals. They have explored grouping in tens, partitioning and the number line to 50. Geography In Geography we have explored different hot and cold countries. We have discussed the proximity of countries to the equator and looked at how this affects their climate. Assessment The children have also been busy completing mock phonics screening checks this week in preparation for the real thing in May/June. Have a great week ahead!
