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 learnt about Beegu’s experiences on our planet and wrote lost posters describing her 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 about the properties of 2D and 3D shapes using the language of: sides, corners, quadrilateral and faces. We also sorted the shapes based on their various properties.
To help Beegu learn about our planet Earth we also made an animal fact file for her, starting by identifying if an animal is a mammal, bird, fish, reptile or amphibian. We have learnt that not all birds can fly but they do have feathers, fish breathe using their gills and that we are a type of animal called a mammal.
This week in phonics we have been revising the following sounds:
air (fair, stair)
ew (chew, stew)
oo (poo, zoo)
Attached is the link to the Spelling Shed for the children to be able to revise these sounds: https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login
Next week it is the turn of the But Martin table for Show and Tell (Charlie, Theo, Lizzie and Michael).
We hope you have a lovely weekend watching the ruby final,
The Year One Team
