Y1 Friday 14th February 2025– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
In English we have written recount messages in response to the book ‘Major Glad Major Dizzy’.
In Maths we have explored doubles, near doubles before looking at subtraction through using number bonds and counting back.
In History we have designed toys for the future, in groups, thinking about what it is made from and how it works.
In Computing and Art, we have drawn Emperor Penguins using the Purple Mash paint programme.
In Science we have consolidated our learning by completing a quiz.
Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:
√ Putting together moves in a sequence in dance in PE.
√ Understanding doubles and near doubles.
√ Using number bonds to help us to subtract.
√ Working hard to read and write words including the ‘ie as is igh’ and ‘ea as in ee’.
√ Writing a recount message in a letter to Major Glad.
√ Sharing facts, we have learnt about toys from the past and toys now.
√ Playing ‘Hot Cross Buns’ on the xylophone in Music.
√ Working together in a group to design a toy for the future.
Family discussion questions:
- What could a toy in the future be like? What is it made from and how does it work?
- True or false? 15-2= 17. Explain.
- Which is correct? How do you know? Niet or night?
Looking forward:
After our half term holidays, we will be looking at the book Hermelin and writing a detective story.
In Maths we will be looking at Place Value to 50.
In Geography we will be looking at the weather in Antarctica and testing materials during our ice experiment.
In History we will look at the significant event that was the Moon Landing and significant person Neil Armstrong … and much more!
Homework in Year 1
- I have set no homework over the half term break
- 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. Reading Challenge’s will be awarded on Friday’s after checking Reading Diaries on Thursday after school. If you have any questions please ask.
Thanks for your support and have a relaxing half term break.
