This week we have been learning how to write a description of a setting. We looked at a strange planet called Pandora and thought of adjectives to describe what we could see. We then wrote these descriptions as sentences in our books.
In maths we have been learning how to count forwards and backwards. We have completed number sequences as numerals and pictures.
In science we have continued learning about different materials and their properties. We helped Bob who needed some new items for his rocket. We told him which material would be best for a: chair, waterbottle, bookshelf and window by describing their properties.
In phonics we have been revising the following sounds:
ai (rain, snail)
ay (may, play)
a-e (snake, shape)
igh (high, might)
i-e (kite, bride)
There are words containing these sounds for the children to practise available on the Spelling Shed website: https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login
This week the children took home their weekly reading books. The books will need to be returned on Tuesday so that the children can take home a new set on Wednesday.
To celebrate our love of reading we would like the children to bring in a photograph of them reading in an unusual place. These photographs will be used as part of our Reading Area display.
Next week it is the turn of the Dr Xargle table for Show and Tell (Nina, Daisy, Maryiam, Kieron, Sophia and Georgia).
We hope you all have a lovely weekend,
The Year One Team
