Y1 Friday 13th October 2023– 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 written facts about seasons, weather, mammals, insects and birds.
In Maths we have compared objects and used the language and symbols of: more, less, same, greater than, less than and equal to.
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!

We will be learning basic first aid skills (role play – how to call for an ambulance) and looking at bugs with ‘The Bug Man’ as part of Exhibition.
Exhibition
On Wednesday 18th October and Thursday 19th October from 2pm to 6pm the exhibition will be in the School Hall. We will be singing at 2.30pm on the Junior Playground each day- please join us if you can.
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.
Nativity
Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th December 9:30am.
Thank you for your continued support.
