Year 1 Weekly Blog Week Beginning 24/2/2025

Date: 27th Feb 2025 @ 1:50pm

The children have come back after half term full of energy and enthusiasm to learn.

This week in English, our Year 1 class dove into the delightful story of The Kiss That Missed by David Melling.Here is a link to a video of it if you want to enjoy it at home.

'The Kiss that Missed' read by Karan Brar

We started by only reading the beginning pages of the story and doing some predictions of what would happen in the book. We did some fantastic drama based on our ideas!

Our Big Write is to retell the story using as much exciting vocabualry as possible.

In Maths, we’ve been focusing on comparing numbers and counting in twos. The children  have worked hard to understand how to recognize which number is bigger or smaller, using terms like “greater than” and “less than” and using symbols to represent them.

We also started counting in twos.They enjoyed clapping and jumping in twos to make the learning more active and fun! We’ve seen great progress and are excited to continue building on these skills next week when we focus on multiplication.

We kicked off a brand-new topic this week - Courageous Castles. This week the children learned the different parts of a castle and were able to label their own diagram of a castle.

In Science we have begun our learning about carnivores herbivores and omnivores. This week we  strted with carnivores and were able to classify animals according to what they eat.
