This week we’ve been busy in Year One writing our own version of the story of ‘Beegu’. We used story maps to help sequence the events and then wrote the story in our English Books. We worked hard to include lots of descriptive language.
In maths we have been learning to identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes. Next week we will be using our understanding of 2-D and 3-D shapes to create repeating patterns.
In science we sorted animals into a Venn diagram.
In phonics we have been learning the following sounds:
wh (whistle, whisk, whale)
ph (phone, alphabet)
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 wobbly tooth, Levi’s toy warthog, Ben’s toy dinosaur, Jiyong’s toy sword and Lilly’s fluffy bunny. Next week it is the turn of the ‘Q Pootle 5’ table (Issa, Caitie, Grace, Theo, Jan and Gabriel).
Thank you to our School Councillor’s Lenny and Eliza who helped sell our Christmas decorations to raise money for our school link charity ‘The Lunch Bowl Network’. This charity provides food and care to the Angel Kindergarten School in Kibera. We hope you enjoy hanging the handmade decorations on your tree this Christmas.
We hope you have a restful weekend,
The Year One Team
