Class 1

We have been inspired by Shirley Hughes’ poetry in “Out and about” to create our own autumn poems. We started to explore seasonal changes and write some description using our senses!

In maths this week we have been investigating addition. We have used part/whole models and developed our knowledge of number bonds.

We investigated the absorbency of materials today. We discussed fair testing and compared results with each other!

We made Pumpkin Soup! We are going to write the instructions for how to make it in our English lessons, making sure we use bossy verbs! Most of the class were brave and had a taste!

During our PE enrichment morning, children developed their skills with a range of playground equipment. This will support and enhance playtime activities.

We have been busy outside creating maps of the playground! We designed our own symbols for the key too! Fantastic Class 1!

Our new writing unit, based on the story Pumpkin Soup, is all about instructions. We worked together to identify key features of instructions. Now we know what to include in our own writing!

In geography we created “messy maps” of our classroom using objects we could find to represent each area. The teamwork was amazing!

In RE today we discussed God the creator and how Christians praise and say thanks for the world. We all thought about things we are thankful for.

We investigated the structure of Little Red Riding Hood by creating story maps. The children could then use them to retell the story verbally, ready to write their own versions!

Maths in action! This week we have been subitising and learning how to use new equipment. Year 2 have been partitioning numbers in different ways and investigating place value!

Some of our amazing writing this week! We have listened to the story of Little Red Riding Hood and used adjectives to describe the characters, checking capital letters and full stops in our sentences.
