This Week In Year 1 (WB 18.05.26)
Date: 20th May 2026 @ 5:14pm
What a fantastic and busy week we have had in Year 1! 🌟
In English 📚, we have continued exploring The Ugly Five and have been learning how to describe different animals using exciting adjectives. We also began learning about acrostic poems and worked together as a class to create a poem for AFRICA 🌍, linking perfectly with our Geography learning.
In Maths ⏰, we have been learning all about time! We have focused on recognising and reading o’clock and half past times.
In Science 🌱🌳, we compared plants and trees and created some beautiful observational artwork of real flowers 🌸 for our fantastic finish. The classroom looked amazing!
In Geography 🗺️, we have been comparing Africa and the UK, thinking carefully about the similarities and differences between the two places.
We have also had lots of fun making lovely Eid cards 💌✨ this week.
Over the half term, please continue to practise phonics sounds and reading every day 📖 ready for the Phonics Screening Check (PSC) which will take place during the week beginning 8th June.
⭐ After half term, our Pledge Point assemblies will take place every Friday at 2:40pm. We will let you know if your child is receiving a reward — but remember to keep it a surprise! 🤫🎉
🏃 PE days after half term:
- Class 3: Tuesday & Friday
- Class 4: Monday & Friday
We hope you all have a wonderful and restful half term holiday ☀️🍦 and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday 2nd June 2026!
