Welcome back, we hope you all had a restful half term.
This week we have started our new core text ‘Beegu’. In the story Beegu is a kind and curious alien who crashes on a strange and mysterious planet (Earth).
We wrote lost posters describing Beegu’s characteristics and appearance to help her family find her. We learnt the word ‘anxious’ to describe how Beegu was feeling.
In maths we have been learning addition and subtraction fact families.
E.g. If 3 +7 = 10 then 7 + 3 = 10, 10 – 7 = 3 and 10 – 3 = 7.
In science we have started our new topic ‘Animals Including Humans’. We have learnt about the key features of:
- Mammals
- Amphibians
- Birds
- Reptiles
- Fish
Congratulations to Finn who was awarded the ‘Star Writer’ certificate this week for his Bob Man on the Moon information page. Finn worked hard to write on the line, inside the line, include his capital letters and full stops; well done Finn.
This week we have enjoyed learning about Matilda’s holiday diary, Albie’s gem collection, Marcus’s golf club and Sean’s toy. Next week it is the turn of the Beegu table for Show and Tell (Ramir, Valeri, Caroline, Lewis, Eliza and Guy).
In phonics this week we have been revising the sounds: ‘ai’ and ‘ay’. We have also been introduced to the spilt digraph ‘a-e’. Attached is the link to the Spelling Shed for the children to be able to revise these sounds: https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login
We hope you all have a lovely weekend,
The Year One Team
