Have You Seen This Sneaky Alien?

This week Bob’s favourite was sandwich was stolen by a very sneaky alien.

To help Bob we wrote wanted posters describing the alien’s appearance and personality. Our amazing posters helped Bob capture the alien and reclaim his lunch. As a reward we learnt how to make his favourite cucumber sandwiches.

We enjoyed eating the sandwiches during our class picnic.

In maths we have been learning about counting forwards and backwards by completing a set of number sequences.

In science we have been learning about transparent and opaque materials. We have learnt that transparent materials let the light through so we can see through them. Opaque materials block the light which means we cannot see through them and this causes them to form a shadow. We then selected appropriate materials to make a shadow puppet.

In phonics we have been revising the following sounds:

ow- brown, cow

ow- blow, snow

As a school we have joined ‘The Spelling Shed’ to help children practise and learn their spellings. This week the children have all been given a username and password to help them access their spellings at home (please come and speak to one of the team if you cannot find your child’s username and password). The link to the Spelling Shed is below:

https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login

The children enter their username and password to access their account.

Once signed into their account, the children can then access the various spellings that we are practising in class. The children can  work through the different levels to help them practise their spellings.

This week the children can practise the tricky words:

I

to

the

into

go

no

We hope you enjoy spelling at home!

This week in Show and Tell we enjoyed learning about Caroline’s cow bell from Switzerland, Eliza’s toy dog ‘Bonnie’, Valeri’s Pokemon ‘Psyduck’, Guy’s helicopter ‘Smashie’ Lewis’s model of the Sydney Opera House  and Ramir’s T-Rex. Next week it is the turn of the Dr Xargle table (Levi, Lenny, Lucy, Lilly, Ben and Jiyong).

Thank you to everyone who has brought in a photo of themselves reading in an unusual place. We look forward to seeing more photographs to use a part of our Reading Area display.

We hope you have a lovely weekend,

The Year One Team
