In English this week we have learnt what adjectives are and how to use them within our writing. We have created character descriptions using adjectives for 2 children in the book 'The Gingerbread Man'. The children then inputted their adjectives into sentences, ensuring they used capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. Some children chose to extend their learning by adding the conjunction 'and' or 'because'. I was exceptionally proud of the written work the children produced, they should be extremely proud of themselves. 








In Maths this week we have been focusing our learning around multiples of 2, 5 and 10. We have done lots of counting in order to embed our knowledge of this. Our hand prints represented 5's and our pairs of shoes helped us to count in 2's. As a class we are finding counting in 2's the trickiest therefore practicing this at home with be hugely beneficial. 































We have been continuing to rehearse for the Christmas nativity this week! Very excitingly, our new stage arrived yesterday therefore we look forward to practicing on there next week!


Have a good weekend.

Last Friday we enjoyed making some Christingles and then sharing a Christingle service with Reception class in a socially distanced manner. Year 2 led the service and shared with us what each part of the Christingle represents.  We had an absolutely super time carol singing. Thank you to everybody who came out to support us.  We also made and decorated our personalised tree decorations! We felt very creative with our designs. We spent some time writing Goodbye messages to Mrs Baker, Arthur and Emylia as well as Thank you messages to Bobby's Mum for helping us with the backdrop for our nativity and the lady and gentlemen who donated the straw to us.   I would like to take this opportunity with wish Emylia and Arthur the very best of luck at their new school. I hope you all have an enjoyable Christmas, but most importantly, a safe Christmas.

Geography/Science Day - We enjoyed learning about the seasons and weather changed. We made rain gauges to measure how much rain falls.  On Friday we enjoyed being Superhero's to celebrate Comic Relief/Red Nose Day. We decorated Superhero masks, made biscuits and learnt a Superhero song and dance.  To consolidate our learning, we went for a walk on Friday and followed a set of instructions. We discussed and implemented all the geographical terminology we have learnt over the last couple of months.

We have had such an enjoyable week in Year 1. We loved celebrating Captain Tom Moore day. We made bunting, medals and sandwiches in the morning. In the afternoon we went for a walk to help the children understand how far Captain Tom walked. We explained that Captain Tom would have had to walk the distance we walked, 3 times! We were delighted at the efforts the children went to when dressing up!   In Maths we have been learning how to measure length and height! We have been using a variety of pieces of equipment to help us! We began by measuring with concrete objects and then rulers. We also used metre sticks to measure longer/taller objects. Today we measured each other and ordered ourselves from shortest to tallest.  In Miss Blake's phonics group this week, the children have been recapping 'ee', 'ay' and 'igh'. In this activity the children had to sort the words into the correct piles dependant on the digraphs. They were then encouraged to write sentences
