Willow Class Explorers

This week we had our fantastic class assembly where we took St Matthew’s on a tour of the world’s rainforests. The children recalled their fascinating facts and then retold the story of Where the Wild Things Are. Everyone spoke with a  clear voice, but we missed Lewis who had injured his arm. We hope you get better soon Lewis!

In English this week, we wrote our newspaper reports describing what happened when the whale got stuck on the beach. The children worked hard to include a snappy headline and the key information.

In maths we have been learning how to represent a multiplication equation as an array. Next week we will be learning how to double numbers.

In phonics we have been revising the following sounds:

aw (yawn, dawn)

or (door)

au (caught, haunt)

Below is a link to a series of games that the children can play to practise these sounds: http://www.ictgames.com/literacy.html

This week we enjoyed learning about Caitie’s light up lamp, Toby’s cricket ball, Jiyong’s Power Ranger, Finn’s moon ball and toy.  Next week it is the turn of the crab table (Levi, Issa, George, Gabriel, Lewis and Guy) for Show and Tell.

We hope you have a restful weekend,

The Year One Team
