Week beginning - Monday 19th April

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 using these words! 

Also in Phonics this week we have been embedding our knowledge of these digraphs by playing phonic tunes/following patterns! 

RHSE - We have been identifying the part of the body. The post-it notes indicate the additional labels the children wanted to add. We also discussed the functions of these parts of the body.

Every week is wonderful but this week has been extra special. thank you Year 1 for so many learning opportunities. Have a fabulous weekend and I look forward to seeing you on Monday!
