Year 1 w/b 19th October

Date: 23rd Oct 2020 @ 3:08pm

So our final week has been as busy as ever but it’s been full of great experiences. We welcomed a local artist into school this week and we worked with her on Tuesday creating our service themed canvas. Then at the end of the week we had our pumpkin themed light event. Year 1 again were leading from the front with a magnificent collection of pumpkins carved with images and words representing the words of Jesus. Thank you for all your support in helping create these at home.

In Forest School we loved creating our class colour wheel from the nature we had foraged. Please see the photos attached.

Our final week in English involved planting a seed and planning and writing the instructions for how it was planted. This was a largely independent task for the children to showcase the improvement in their writing skills. They did not disappoint; the final results were wonderful. Within guided reading sessions, the children have enjoyed working in their new groups post assessments last week.

In Maths we have completed our unit on number, using number lines and comparing the language first, second and third etc which we applied to dates and birthdays.

Science involved a scavenger hunt to find and name deciduous and evergreen trees and in art and design we completed our William Morris inspired prints using rollers and printing inks. Please attached photos of a view of our finished examples. Finally, our final lesson in history on the growth od communication focused on Tim Berner Lees and how we use the World Wide Web to browse the internet.

Can we wish you all a happy and safe half term. It was lovely to catch up on the phone for parent consultations this week and hopefully in the Spring we may hold this face to face.

With many thanks

Mrs Pulle and Mrs Lindersen
