Welcome to Year 1 5.9.25
We hope you have all had a super summer! This week the children have settled into year 1 wonderfully! They have adapted well to the knew routine and have been working hard. We have been practising our number formation and our speaking and listening skills. In Maths we have also been learning to sort and count objects. We have enjoyed practising the alphabet in English and forming our letters correctly. In Art we looked at rainbow paintings by different artists and used water colours to paint our own rainbows.

This week in Maths we have been recognising numbers as words. We also practised counting one more from any number. In English, we have been writing all about ourselves and created lovely booklets! In our reading lessons we are reading a fantastic book called Grandpa's Handkerchief, we spoke about the vocabulary, practised reading for fluency and we retrieved answers from the text.

This week in Maths we have been counting on one more from any number and finding one less than any number. In English this week we have enjoyed reading the book 'Rain' by Sam Usher. We have used this book to inspire us to write super simple sentences! In our geography lesson we identified different types of weather like rainy, sunny, windy and cloudy.
