What a great start to the second half term in Year 1!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well and had a lovely half term!

We have had the most amazing start back into the second term of Year 1. The children have come back with such amazing attitudes towards learning and are showing such great behaviours. We are all so incredibly proud of them all. 

We have started a new topic this half term which is Climate! The children have started to show such enthusiasm towards this already and have started to learn about the different types of weathers and seasons. 

In Maths we have started a new unit which is addition and subtraction within 10. This is involving using lots of resources and exploring different ways to work answers out.  In Literacy we have been using adjectives to describe weather and writing senses poems about Autumn. The children also took on the role of a weather presenter and presented the forecast for the day to the class!



On Monday we were lucky enough to have the puzzle company in to do some problem solving and reasoning activities. The children worked so well in a team and communicated effectively. We also supported COP26 on Monday by learning about climate change and how we can protect the earth we live on. We made promises on the back of leaves in which we are willing to keep to help fight climate change.



In Jigsaw we have started to look at celebrating difference and the similarities between us. We have also started to talking about how differences make us special! We have also started to learn about different ball skills in PE which started with learning about and practicing a chest pass.

Home learning books will come home tomorrow as well as their new RWI books. Please make sure these come back in the following week. 

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to catch me in the morning or after school, or send me an email. 

Thank you for your continued support!
