This week we have started reading our core text ‘Bob Man on the Moon’.
We learnt about Bob’s day on the moon and all of the jobs he has to complete inside his rocket. Unfortunately, Bob’s favourite 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.
In maths we have been learning how to use different resources to represent numbers. We wrote the number as a numeral, word and picture and used our Base 10 Diene sticks to represent a 2 digit number.
In phonics we have been revising the following sounds:
ow- blow, snow
oa- goat, boat, float
oi- spoil, toil, coil
oy- boy, toy
We have also been reviewing our phonics knowledge by playing the game ‘Obb and Bob’.

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.
In science we have started our topic ‘Materials’. We looked at different materials and began to describe their properties. We then sorted the materials using the vocabulary we had generated.
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our ‘Meet the Teacher’ session on Wednesday. Below is an attachment of the PowerPoint used to help explain routines in Year One.
Please could we use any spare yogurt pots and empty toilet rolls that you might have, for a very exciting R.E lesson next week.
Next week it is the turn of the ‘But Martin!’ table for Show and Tell (Magnus, Theo, Grover and Freya).
We hope you have a lovely weekend,
The Year 1 Team
