This week we have written a set of instructions to teach people how to make Bob’s favourite cucumber sandwiches. We have learnt that a good set of instructions will include:
- Numbered steps
- Bossy verbs
- Pictures
- Each step will be written on a new line
In maths we have been learning how to compare objects and amounts using the mathematical symbols: < > =
We have begun to learn how to partition a number into two parts to help practise the rapid recall of our number bonds to 10 and 20. We will continue this learning next week.
In science we have learnt about waterproof and absorbent materials. Bob needed our help designing a new suit. We tested a variety of materials to see if they if were absorbent or waterproof. In our conclusion, we decided that plastic or rubber would be the most appropriate material for Bob because these materials were waterproof and stronger than tinfoil.
This week we have been revising the sounds we have learnt so far in phonics. On the Spelling Shed there are lists for the children to practise the following sounds:
- igh (fly high)
- oa (goat in a boat)
- ar (start the car)
- ee (what can you see?)
- ow (blow the snow and brown cow)
Attached is the link to the Spelling Shed for the children to be able to revise these sounds: https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login
This week we have enjoyed learning about Lucy’s cuddly ‘Rose’, Jiyong’s keyring, Lenny’s toy car, Lilly’s puppy ‘Snowball’ and Ben’s holiday diary describing his adventures in Ireland and Spain. Next week it is the turn of the ‘Q Pootle 5’ table (Issa, Caitie, Grace, Theo, Jan and Gabriel).
In P.E we have been encouraging the children to get changed before the end of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peTnXmZxuZQ
Please could you help your child practise fastening their buttons and tying their tie in a smart knot.
We hope you have a lovely weekend,
The Year One Team
