This week in Maths we have worked on Pictograms and we went around our friends in the class asking them to vote on there favourite fruit or food.
In year 1 this week we have been learning how to write number stories using addition and equals signs. We wrote our number stories on whiteboards and used counters to help us.
This week we have have started to look at our new class book 'Pirates Love Underpants!' After we listened to the story we had a class chat and mind mapped about how we could learn the story.
"We could write our own story. We need to use the story mountain. We need to remember finger spaces." Dimitar
"We could make a book about underpants. A story book." Taelor-Rae
"We can make our own treasure map." Owen
"We can make a paper pirate ship."
"We could write a letter to the pirates." Laila
"We could make underwear for the pirates. We need two holes for the legs." Jack
"We need a tape measure to check they fit" Buddy
"We could make puppets of the characters." Owen
"We can make up a different story about pirates." Laila
In the afternoons this week we have been designing and making our own underpants.
This week in Year 1 we have been very busy working on a maths game and on our number recognition. We worked on a game called number fan bingo and practised forming our numbers correctly. We played a track game and when we rolled the dice we had to add one more to the number we rolled.
In Year 1 this week we have been very busy writing letters to Mrs Hudd about our class topic.
We have also been designing and making our own sea creature masks using our cutting skills.
We have also been working in the garden playing skittles. We had to try and knock the water bottles over and work out which was the most full and least full.
This week in Year 1 we have been settling into our new class and getting to know our new Teacher Miss Walton and Teaching Assistants Miss Cox, Miss H Smith and Miss L Smith. The topic that we will be learning about this term is Under the Sea and we will be finding out lots of interesting facts. We received a letter from the crab in our story and we have written back to him. We used food colouring to create an under the sea painting. We made stick puppets of all the characters in the story. We have been focusing on forming our letters correctly and have enjoyed whole class phonics.
