We have been practising our Christmas songs this week for our performance on Monday 17th December at 09.15. If you would like to practise them over the weekend, there are some links below (we are only doing the first verse and chorus of Jingle Bells)!
We are now learning about sound families in Phonics. These are different letters that can make the same sound, for example, ‘g’ and ‘j’ can both make the ‘j’ sound, like in germ and jelly.
Spellings this week are therefore:
look, kick, huff, fight, wrong, ring, blue, smooth, gel, joy
Can you put them into sentences once you have learnt them?
In Maths, we are learning about time next week. Can you choose four different times of the day and show them on a clock? For example, lunch time is at 12 o’clock.
This term in Science Hedgehogs have been learning about the different parts of the body and our 5 senses. We learnt about each sense, what they are used for and why they are important. Our final lesson we learn about our sense of taste by doing a tasting experiment of various sweet, sour and savoury ingredients. We learnt that we have over 100,000 different taste buds.
We have been learning about disability awareness. In ART we used our feet to draw to see how amputees draw without using their hands, we throughly enjoyed this activity but found it a little tricky.
We have been practising how to write instructions, we made jam sandwiches and discussed what we did using time words (first, then, next, after that, finally) and bossy verbs (put, cut, spread). As you can see we throughly enjoyed making and eating our sandwiches.
Year 1 will be performing their Winter Songs on Monday 17th December at 09.15!!
We look forward to seeing you all there!
The Year 1 Team
Dear Parents,
Please check that you have signed and returned the Christmas dinner slips for your child to have a school lunch on Wednesday 19th December. If your child isn’t having the Christmas dinner school lunch, then they will need to bring a packed lunch as there is no other cooked dinner available. The slips need to be returned by this Friday so the catering team know how much food to order.
If you need another copy of the letter, please let me know.
