A very busy first week back for Year One with lots of new learning and challenges taking place both inside and outside of the classroom. It was lovely to see lots of team work happening in the outside area this week as the children got reacquainted after the half term break.
In English this week the children began their innovation of the tree giants information text. The version they wrote alongside the teacher was all about ice giants, describing what they looked like and what they liked to eat.
In maths, we continued our work on addition with numbers to 10. The children used part part whole models to support their working out using practical resources and pictorial representations.
The children began their geography topic entitled ‘Whatever the Weather’. This week we looked at the globe and maps of the world. We identified the equator, the North Pole and the South Pole and then learnt that hotter countries are found closer to the equator and that it gets colder the further away from the equator you are.
Finally, in phonics this week the children began to learn the Phase 5 phonemes, this week’s tuff tray challenge was to read and sort a variety of real and nonsense words.
