This week we have been making information pages writing about Bob and his job as ‘Man on the Moon’. We have learnt that an information page needs a title that is big and bold, a clear introduction and the information needs to be grouped.
In maths we have been learning how to add two numbers together and then calculate related addition facts. For example, if 12 + 8 = 20 then 8 + 12 = 20.
In science we have been learning about man-made and natural materials.
This week we enjoyed visiting the Royal Albert Hall to watch the Primary Proms. The children enjoyed listening to the different performances and learning about the various instruments.
During this half term we have been learning about a Christian baptism and wedding. On Friday we went to St Matthew’s Church where Mother Helen reenacted a baptism to show the children what happens during the service. Thank you to Mother Helen for inviting us to the church and to Mrs Warner for kindly lending us her very special Christening gown that has been passed down generations in her family.
This week we have revised the following sounds:
au (caught, haunt)
or (fork)
aw (yawn, dawn)
There are words containing these sounds for the children to practise available on the Spelling Shed website: https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login
Next week it is the turn of the’ But Martin!’ table for Show and tell (Magnus, Freya, Theo and Grover).
We hope you have a lovely weekend,
The Year One Team
