Both mum and baby are doing wonderfully well, and we are back at home relishing precious family time together. Your kind words before the Easter holiday meant so much to us, and I eagerly anticipate returning to work with your children in the Summer term. Thank you for your ongoing support and well wishes.

YEAR 1 WEEKLY REVIEW

Weekly Review 26th April 2024

 Weekly Review:

Another action packed week in Year One has come to an end.  In RE this week, we talked about The King’s role in the country as the head of the Church of England.  During Geography, we travelled to Africa to see the elephants. We looked at their habitat and wrote about the dusty and dry desert. Did you know that an elephant uses its ears to keep itself cool during the sweltering day? In Science we looked at fish and discussed the parts of their body that are different compared to other animals. Our Computing lesson saw us continuing our coding topic by using objects and actions to make an algorithm.

English:

Our book this week was ‘The concrete garden’ illustrated and written by Bob Graham. We planned our own concrete garden, using adjectives to describe what we wanted to draw. Then we used chalk to watch our amazing creations come to life. Towards the end of the week we wrote invitations asking people to come and see our concrete garden. In Phonics, we continued to recap the sounds we have learnt so far this year to help with our phonics screening.

Maths:

PHSE:

This week we learnt about people in the community who help keep us safe. We discussed the qualities that people who do these jobs may have.

PE & Dance: 

1D will have PE on Friday and Music on Tuesday while 1P will have Dance on Tuesday and PE on Thursday so will need their kits then.  Children can come to school wearing their kits on PE and Dance days and will get changed as part of their lessons if they want to. We are currently waiting to hear if we will continue to have tennis lessons on Thursday and will let you know as soon as we hear.

AOB:

We have booked our summer term trip, we are going to be going to the polka theatre on Thursday 16th May. If you are able to volunteer please let a class teacher know.
