Hello Year One families
Did you know that EVERY DAY in Year One is an adventure?!
The classroom now has some exciting new areas of learning that support children's independent skills. We have:
A tinker table that allows children to practice and investigate number knowledge.
A creation station and Tiny Town that focuses on DT and art skills - designing, making and evaluating their models.
A tiny teacher area where children can practice being the teacher, showing others how to read, write and relearn skills and knowledge they have been taught in lessons.
Story kingdom is a comfy spot where the children can share their love of books and stories.
In cosy club the children work with an adult to develop writing and maths skills.
Our outdoor area now has specific areas that develop fine and gross motor skills, language development, critical thinking and number knowledge. The areas are known as: water world, curiosity corner, the builders yard and story kingdom.
EVERY child is encouraged to make their own adventure in these areas and must visit the message centre to write code sentences to bring their worlds to life. The children then stick their code sentences into their own adventure books.
It has been a fantastic start to our half term. We continue to learn about our Wonderful World and have begun to learn about David Attenborough in history and literacy lessons. In DT we will be designing, making and evaluating an animal enclosure. In science we are learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores and in maths we are learning to add within 10. Our reading assessments take place this week so your child MAY change groups next week.
I wonder where our adventure will take us next?
