A busy week in Year one

Hi Year one Families 

It’s been another exciting week in Year One.

In English, we’ve been exploring our class book Astro Girl and using it to inspire our own sentences. The children have been learning how to include adjectives, imperative verbs, and nouns to make their writing more descriptive and engaging we’ve been so impressed with their imaginative ideas!

In Geography, we’ve travelled (virtually!) all the way to Oceania, discovering fascinating facts about this unique continent and the amazing animals and landscapes found there.

During DT, we practised our fruit slicing skills in preparation for making our very own smoothies in a few weeks, there were lots of careful cutters in action!

We’ve also really enjoyed spending time playing outside, making the most of our resources and showing great teamwork and creativity in our purposeful play.

Next week is set to be a very busy and exciting one!

  • On Tuesday, we’re visiting the farm – please remember wellies, suitable clothing, and a change of clothes.

  • On Tuesday afternoon, we’ll also have a special input on Judaism.

  • On Wednesday, Zoo Lab will be visiting to support our Science learning.

  • And on Friday, we’ll be joined by the Fire Service for a fun and informative session!

We can’t wait for all the wonderful learning and experiences ahead!

Please remember that Reading Records should be returned daily and please label water bottles and school uniform.

Please do get in touch if you have anything you would like to discuss.

Ms Evans and the Year One Team.
