Hello everyone,
We've had an exciting week full of learning and exploration in Year 1. Let's take a closer look at what we've been up to in each subject. Literacy: Exploring the Adventures of the Naughty Bus In literacy, we've been diving into the world of "Naughty Bus." We've learned all about sequencing the story using a story map. The story map helps us to remember and retell the story in the right order. We've also been using adjectives and connectives to write diary entries from the Naughty Bus's perspective. It's been so much fun putting ourselves in the shoes of the Naughty Bus and imagining all the naughty things it gets up to! Maths: Part-Whole Models and Number Sentences In maths, we've been using part-whole models to understand numbers better. These models help us see how numbers can be broken down into parts. We've also been writing number sentences to practice our addition and subtraction skills. It's like solving puzzles with numbers! RE: Learning About God Through the Parable of the Lost Son In Religious Education, we've been exploring the parable of the Lost Son. We've learned about the characteristics of God as shown in this story, such as forgiveness and love. It's been a beautiful way to understand how Christians believe God's love and forgiveness work in their lives. We've also discovered how Christians worship and express their faith through prayer and songs. Science: Investigating Materials and Their Properties In science, we had a fantastic time investigating the properties of materials. We wondered which materials can float and which ones will sink. We conducted experiments and made some interesting discoveries. It's been a hands-on adventure! ICT: Mastering Mouse Skills with Paintz.app In our ICT sessions, we've been working on our mouse skills using the Paintz.app. It's been a challenge, but we're getting better and better at using the mouse to draw and create beautiful pictures. We might have some budding artists in our class! History: A Glimpse into Seaside Holidays - Then and Now Finally, in history, we've been exploring the differences between holidays at the seaside now and in the Victorian times. It's been fascinating to see how things have changed over the years. We've looked at old pictures and heard stories about what a day at the beach was like in the past. We've had such a great time this week, and we can't wait to see what the next week of learning will bring. Keep up the great work, Year 1! Stay curious, Mrs Budiman and Miss Luxton Dear Parents and Carers,
Our young learners have been on an exciting journey filled with exploration and discovery. Adaline is our Star Learner this week. Her positive attitude to learning is very impressive and her attention to detail is wonderful to see! 1. Literary Adventures: Naughty Bus and Letter Writing In our literacy lessons, we've been taking a thrilling ride with the mischievous "Naughty Bus." This delightful story has not only sparked our imaginations but also provided opportunities to craft information sentences and dive into the art of letter writing. Through these activities, we're learning to express our thoughts and ideas in a clear and engaging way. 2. Mathematical Marvels: Addition and Subtraction Within 10 In the realm of mathematics, our Year 1 students are becoming mathematical wizards! We're tackling addition and subtraction within the magical realm of numbers up to 10. With hands-on activities and engaging exercises, we're developing our number sense and problem-solving skills, setting the stage for more complex mathematical adventures ahead. 3. Exploring Faith: The Parable of the Lost Son and Christian Beliefs In our Religious Education (RE) lessons, we've been delving into the profound parable of the Lost Son. This story has not only captivated our hearts but also led to discussions about forgiveness, redemption, and how Christians regard God. Exploring different perspectives on faith is a valuable part of our learning journey. 4. Scientific Enquiry: Sorting Materials Science has been a journey of exploration as we dive into the world of materials. We're learning to categorize and sort objects based on the material they are made from. This hands-on exploration is nurturing our scientific curiosity and helping us understand the world around us. 5. Time Travel in History: Entertainment Through Time and Festivals In our history lessons, we've embarked on a thrilling journey through time, exploring the evolution of entertainment and the role of festivals. From ancient traditions to modern celebrations, we're gaining a deeper appreciation for the way people have come together to have fun and make memories throughout history. Thank you for joining us on this educational journey, and we look forward to sharing more of our classroom adventures with you in the future! Kind regards, Mrs Budiman and Miss Luxton |
