Y1- Measuring potions, Challah bread and a reminder...

This week in Year 1 we have been planning our recount of our trip to Portland Bill. The children have had to use the time connectives first, next, after that, later and finally in their work. We have started to look at the stories of 'The lighthouse keepers lunch' and will base our writing around this story for the last remaining weeks.

We had our last forest school session with the Spring and Summer group on Monday. It has been fantastic to see the children's confidence and independence grow outside. Depending on the weather we do plan to do so outside learning in the last week of term so we will keep you up dated.

Today in Jigsaw we discussed the proper names for girls and boys body parts and the importance of them being private.

In RE we tasted some challah bread. This is the traditional bread that Jewish families have during Shabbat. Thank you to Mrs Howell for making this it was delicious!

In maths we are focusing on capacity. Today we having been measuring potions, estimating how many spoon full of sand different containers hold and looking at full, half full and empty.

In our assembly today the Dorchester library introduced the new Summer Reading challenge. This is a fantastic activity to do with your child in the summer. They have to read or be read to six times. They get fun stickers and a medal and a certificate at the end. If you haven't taken part yet give it a go it is free!

Finally just a reminder that it is our final Year 1 assembly next Friday (13th). Please do come along from 9.20am to hear about what we have been learning about over the Summer term.
