W/b 28/09/26

We have had another fantastic week in Class 1. The children have been busy in our English lessons after we found a letter from Baby Bear asking for our help to keep Goldilocks away. We revisited the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, putting actions to it and helping us to remember the sequence of events.

In Maths, the children have been looking at the greater than, less than and equal signs when comparing numbers, as well as continuing to explore money during our 'Money Mondays' lessons.

In Science, we started an investigation into our senses. We listened to different sounds and had to identify what was making them. It was lots of fun and harder than expected!

  

W/b 21/09/26

This week, we have been busy learning lots of new things! As part of our learning about Louis Braille, we used Play-doh to create Braille letters and even had a go at making our own names in Braille. We enjoyed exploring how Braille helps people with visual impairments to read and write.

In Maths, we have started learning about coins. We have been looking carefully at different coins and beginning to recognise and name them. We have also had a go at finding one more and one less than a given number as well as recognising numbers to 10 written as words.

In RE, we have been thinking about forgiveness. On Monday, we worked together to create freeze frames to show different situations where people might forgive one another. The children showed great understanding and thought carefully about how forgiveness can help relationships.

   

W/b 14/09/26 

In English, we have been learning about lists, labels and captions. The children enjoyed identifying and writing their own lists and labels, as well as creating captions to match pictures.

In Maths, we have been practising our counting skills and learning how to find one more than a given number. The children have worked hard and have become more confident with counting forwards and recognising patterns in numbers.

We also went on a Braille hunt around the school. We noticed many of the signs have Braille on them to help blind people find their way around.

  

W/b 07/09/26

The children have been working incredibly hard since joining Year 1. They have enjoyed exploring their new classroom, taking on challenges together and settling back into school life.

We have been doing lots of counting, practising our letter formation and getting creative with paints. Our History topic for this half term is Louis Braille, and the children had lots of fun creating portraits of him for our classroom display. It has been a busy week, and we are very proud of how hard the children have worked!

This week, the children also chose a library book to take home and share with a grown-up. Library books will be changed every Wednesday, so please remember to return them each week so that the children can choose a new book to enjoy.

    

Homework

Each week, the children will take home a library book which will be changed every Wednesday. Maths homework will be given out on a Friday to be completed and returned by the following Thursday.
