Year 1 Weekly Blog WB 7/10/2024

This week in Year 1 we have continued our learning based on the lovely book 'The Lonely Beast'.On Monday the children received a letter from the Beast asking for their help to find him a friend. The children used the book to decide what the friend would have to be like - one great idea was that he needed to be adventurous because the Beast loved walking and climbing mountains another one was that he needed to love eating cake and drinking tea. The children have looked at what the features of a letter are and have used them in their own letter.

In Maths we have been adding two amounts together. We started by using counting objects to make sets then combining them and counting again and at the end of the week we have been able to write an equation using + and = and solve it practically. Perhaps you could try this at home with your child?

In phonics we have now moved onto phase 5 and the children are learning to read and write different graphemes and phonemes - we are looking forward to welcoming lots of parents to our Phonics workshop on Friday!

Next week we will be looking at some Autumn poems in English and subtraction in Maths.
