Year 1 has had an action-packed week filled with learning and fun!
In STEM, the children have been learning all about shadows. We went outside to investigate what happens when light is blocked and the children were full of curiosity as they experimented. They asked lots of thoughtful questions and enjoyed exploring their scientific thinking through hands-on discovery.
In Phonics, we continued working on the /ee/ sound and explored the different ways it can be spelled, such as in she, see, meal, eat, seat. The children have been spotting these sounds in words around the classroom and practising reading and writing them.
In Writing, we have been continuing our wonderful project, “Traditional Tales with a Twist”. The children have been working hard to complete the middle section of their stories, adding exciting events and imaginative ideas. They are now ready to move on to the final part, where they will bring their tales to a brilliant ending. We can’t wait to see how their creative stories come together!
In Maths, we have been practising reading and writing numbers as words, as well as representing quantities in different ways. The children explored how numbers can be shown using objects and worked with tens frames to investigate how many items can be represented.
