Welcome back to the Spring Term. We hope you had a great Christmas break and would like to say thank you for your kind presents and cards.
This week we have started our new topic ‘Into the Woods’. We looked at the key features of fairy tales and started our new core text ‘Into the Forest’ by Anthony Browne.
When reading this book we noticed that the main character walks through a mysterious forest full of fairy tale objects and characters. We thought of words to describe the forest and wrote a description of the setting.
In science we have started learning about plants and enjoyed using magnifying glasses to examine plants closely. We looked at the shape of the leaves, the colour of the petals, the texture of the plant and wrote about our findings.
In maths this week we have been learning how to use a number line to help us solve an addition equation.
Congratulations to Sofia who was awarded the Good Manners Cup in assembly. Sofia always goes that extra mile to be kind and courteous to everyone in school.
Next week it is the turn of the Billy Goats Gruff table (Finn, Harrison, Chris, Levi and Leon) for Show and Tell.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend,
The Year 1 Team.
