Y1 Friday 6th October 2023– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
What a week in Year 1- brilliant effort and learning by all!
In Maths we have counted on before finding one more of a given number. We have begun to count backwards using number tracks.
In English and Science, we have written facts about mammals, insects and birds- what they eat, look like and where they live.
In Art we have used pastels to create textures and continued to use collage techniques for our exhibition art work and begun decorating our bird houses.
We have begun to publish facts for the exhibition about the seasons, weather and animals.

In Maths we will be finding one less than a given number. We will be comparing numbers using language of ‘same, fewer, more’ before moving onto the language of ‘more than, less than and equal to’.
Exhibition
On Wednesday 18th October and Thursday 19th October from 2pm to 6pm the exhibition will nbe 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.
