Y1 Friday 14th October 2022– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
Another brilliant week in Year 1- great effort to complete independent work and attitude to learning!
In English we will have continued to put actions to our ‘story map’ to help us remember facts about Sir David Attenborough which helped us to write facts.
In Maths we have compared objects and used the language of: more, less, same, greater than, less than and equal to.
In Science we have continued to learn about how animals adapt to their habitats to help them to survive.
In Art we have continued to layer materials to create a textured collage and used pastels to draw lines to create textures.
We have published our work ready for exhibition and we cannot wait for you to see it.
And… we have earnt our first marble jar treat which we will enjoy next week! ?

Exhibition
On Wednesday 19th October and Thursday 20th October our exhibition will be open for visitors from 2pm to 6.30pm in the Junior School Hall. We will be singing at 3pm on the Junior Playground on both days- please join us if you can. The children will be brought back to class from there where you can collect them as usual.
Reminders:
Book change on Thursday- please ensure books are in school so these can be changed overnight.
Please continue to read every night. If this could be recorded in reading diaries so I can track progress for our 14 day Reading Challenge.
Just to clarify- Reading challenges are counted up every Thursday during book change and then awarded on Friday (backdated if awarded before that). We celebrate this achievement as a class all together.
Thank you for your continued support
