Y1 16.10.16- Literacy, maths and art this week



We have now started learning about Castles! The children have learnt about the different features of castles such as what a portcullis is; why some castles have moats and what arrow slits are in the walls. They are using the information they have learnt to answer questions and write some fantastic sentences where the focus is on capital letters, full stops and making sure that what they write makes sense. 

In maths we are thinking about our number bonds to 10 and 20. I taught the children the number bond song and we worked together to add numicon to our maths working wall to aid their learning.
This week we will be using our knowledge of number bonds to add and subtract one digit numbers.

In art we have started looking at the art of Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky. Kandisky's art was made of vibrant colours and many shapes. We are focussing on his concentric circles to make our own abstract trees.
