30.11.14- The week ahead in Year 1- Writing poems about winter, addition, subtraction and the rocket wall!

In Literacy this week Year 1 will be using their imaginations and putting themselves in to a picture! We will be getting the children to think about what they see, hear and feel. Our inspiration will come from hands on experiences in our school grounds where we will crunch through the Autumn leaves and looking at Winter scenes.


In Maths we will be focussing on number. Recapping again on what resources we can use to add two numbers together and then also looking at what strategies to use to take away a number from another.

Spellings practice will still happen this week. Just a reminder that if your child brings in their practice sheet then they will get a rocket point.
Hearts and Stars spellings: are, my, her, play, spray, joy.
Moons: my, her, play, spray, joy.
Rainbows: do, water, what, snow, slow, chief, thief, you.


 
The rocket wall has such a positive effect on the children as they all really want to get to the moon and receive a certificate. We have changed this slightly now. At the end of the week we do not start every child on the earth again, instead the cycle carries on. This means that it isn't such a disappointment when they get so close to the moon but then are moved to the bottom again on a Monday. We have spoken to the children about this and they all seem to prefer the new way.
