Another busy week in Y1

 Hello Year One Families

Last week was filled with lots of outdoor learning and fun.

In science we planted some sunflower seeds so we can find observe their growth over time. We are hoping to have 30 great big sunflowers in our outdoor area by the time we finish for the summer term! Each week we will check on their progress and make sure they get plenty of sunshine and water to help them grow.

We are also making the most of the summer term by learning about plants in our forest school sessions. This week we learnt about trees. We began the session by doing some bark rubbings and then made our own trees out of things we could find in the forest school area. We labelled each part of the tree: trunk, root, branches and leaves. 

In maths we are learning about multiplication and have been learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. We then grouped different resources and counted them, writing a number sentence to go with them.

In PE we tried our hand at hockey. It was quite tricky to hit the ball with such a long stick but the children had a really good go!

In Computing the children learnt how to log on and use Purple Mash, which was a big hit! 

We are hoping to have Accelerated Reader up and running soon so please bear with us while we get the children to complete their initial assessment. If you require any of the other log ins please do let me now as I have a list of the usernames and passwords for each child. 

We look forward to seeing you all back at school tomorrow and we hope you had a lovely bank holiday weekend.
