Happy Harvest

This week we have been very busy editing and publishing our information pages all about Bob. We have labelled an information page using the vocabulary: title, introduction, sub-headings, picture and caption. We then edited our work from last week and published them on special paper.

After half term we will start our new core text ‘Beegu’.

In maths we have been learning about subtraction using the language of ‘taking away’. We have solved subtraction equations and word problems, drawing pictures to help us in our calculations.

We hope you all enjoyed our fantastic Harvest Service. A big thank you to Mr Peck who taught the children all of the songs during their singing assemblies this half term. The children performed our song ‘Roast Turkey’ beautifully, describing all of the delicious food that people eat during Thanksgiving.

Last week Miss Luetchford and Mrs Cronin held a Phonics Workshop to explain how phonics is taught at our school. Thank you to all of the parents and carers who came. We will be sending out a copy of the phonics booklet to all parents after half term.

Congratulations to Lenny and Eliza, who have been voted as our School Councillors.

This week, we have enjoyed learning about Elizabeth’s cuddly unicorn, Eddie’s water gun, Toby’s story writing, Ranga’s transformer, George’s animal headband and Nicky’s magnetic map. After half term it will be the turn of the ‘But Martin!’ table for Show and Tell.

We hope you have a restful half term,

The Year One Team
