This week we have been teaching Beegu about our planet Earth. We have learnt lots of facts about Earth. Did you know that Earth is called the Goldilocks planet? This is because it’s not too hot, not too cold, not too dry and not too wet which allows life to grow. We grouped the facts we had learnt and wrote information pages about Earth.
In maths we have continued learning about 2D and 3D shapes. We have used the shapes to create a repeating pattern.
In R.E we have been learning about the Saint of our school ‘St Matthew’. We have thought about the values of different Saints and looked at how they are represented in different art works. We then created our own stained glass windows to represent these values.
In phonics we have been revising the following sounds:
ar (car, star)
o-e (phone, home)
Attached is the link to the Spelling Shed for the children to be able to revise these sounds as well as a selection of year one common exception words :https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login
We have started rehearsing for our Christmas performance of ‘Jesus’ Christmas Party’ This week the children have taken home a letter describing what clothing is required for their costume, along with a copy of their line to practise at home. If you have any questions please come and speak to a member of the Year One Team.
We hope you have a lovely weekend,
The Year One Team
