Learning Lens - W/C 7th July
We have had a brilliant week in Year 1!
Maths:
This week we have consolidated our learning on positional and directional language by looking at ordinal numbers. We picked this up very quickly!
We then moved on to looking at money, starting with unitising. We recognised that that 1 counter has the value of 1, 2 has the value of 2 and so on. Applying this to different sets, we then worked out total values from sets of counters. This supported us with recognising coins and notes, as well as counting in coins.
English:
In our English learning this week we wrote poems about the rainforest. We thought about all of the things that we might see there, as well as using our senses to help us to describe our surroundings. We wrote our poems whilst listening to rainforest sounds and then spent some time editing them with a fresh pair of eyes the next day.
RE:
This week we re-capped our learning on Chanukah. We listened to the story again and collectively, made a brainstorm of all the things that we think are important to Jewish people at this time. We then chose the one that we think is the most important, drew this and explained the reason for our choice.
PE:
In PE this week we practiced our hopping, jumping and leaping in preparation for Sports Day next week.
Science:
This week we explored who David Attenborough is and learnt that he is a communicator scientist. We then watched snippets of one of his documentaries on the rainforest.
PSHE:
In our PSHE learning this week we explored money. We discussed what money is, who looks after it and where it can be kept safe.
I can't believe that next week will be our final week together as a class!
Other information:
Our PE days are on a Monday and Friday this term.
Please ensure yellow hats and coats are brought into school!
A message from Mrs Housden:
Thank you.
We hope you all have a great weekend in the sunshine!

Phonics and SPAH sentences
This week we have been recapping sounds we have previously learnt.
It has been so great to see everyone engaged in their learning.
Home Learning
SPAH Books:
Our sentence this week is:
The hairy capybara was diving in to the river in the afternoon.
Please encourage your child to write this in their home learning book three times.
If your child does not have the additional sentence written into their book but they would like to have a go at writing this three times too, then please encourage them to do so.
