During our dance session we have been looking at different seasons. This week we looked at winter and thought how we could move our legs and arms, imagining we were wrapped up warm on some ice. We watched an ice skater and how she moved herself across the ice then tried to replicate this in our hall. We watched each other and gave 1 star and 1 wish for different performances. How fantastic we all were, gliding, jumping and turning across the 'ice'!
This week in Science, we have made a rain gauge as we observe the weather. Every day we are now excitedly checking and measuring the amount of rain fall and the temperature, recording it on our class weather chart.
In maths, we have been introduced to a new concept! We used Coco the Crocodile to help understand the greater than and less than symbols, using our hands to munch the bigger numbers.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

What a busy week we have had in Year 1!
We have been discussing the death of Queen Elizabeth II a lot in our class and today we wrote in the online book of condolance. The children chose what they wanted write, they were very kind and thoughtful with their message!
We have started looking at The Tiger Who Came To Tea by Judith Kerr, which most of our literacy work is going to be based on for the next few weeks. We made ourselves familiar with the story by drawing and describing our favourite character and retelling the story through acting.
Well done to Snowdrop group for a fantastic first morning in our wild area. We read the story of The 3 Little Pigs and collected lots of natural materials to make house collages. We thought about which ones would blow away first if the wolf came along and huffed and puffed!
During art, we learnt about hot and cold colours and how they can influence our feelings. We then learnt how to create a colourwash using the 'hot' colours red, yellow and orange. Next week we are going to do the same for cold colours!
We've also been looking at the school behaviour system this week and reminding the children why it's 'good to be green'.
Have a lovely weekend and hope the weather warms up!

Wow!
I know I speak on behalf of the whole team in Year 1 when I say how incredibly proud we are of how well all the children have settled into the life of being a Year 1 child!
We have been doing lots of fun activities in maths, including groups objects within 10 in different ways.
In art, we learnt how to draw a self portrait using a mirror to look at our different features and compared these to our partners. We then walked around the room and admired the amazing work everyone had done!
We begun our phonic sessions and within these, we work together with a partner to read a book. Here we are looking through our speed sounds.
During PE, we started our dance topic where we will be creating dance routines linked with our science topic of the seasons. We pretended the hall was made of ice and 'skated' around jumping, spinning and creating different shapes like real ice skaters!
After such a busy week, we hope you all have a good rest ready for our first full week in Year 1!
