Class 1 Archive 2023 24

We have been to Temple Park this week to take part in the Early Years multisport festival. We took part in activities like balancing, rugby, tennis, basketball and dodgeball.

This Friday was also our class assembly. As Tuesday was Safer Internet Day, we talked about how to stay safe online. Thank you to all the grown-ups for coming, and well done Class 1!

This week in Class 1 we have been learning how to collect data using a tally chart.

We know that each line represents one person or item. Some of us are getting very good at remembering to cross every five!

We’ve been sorting items in jars, counting cars of each colour, discussing ways we travel to school, and asking our friends about their favourite superheroes. Then displaying all the results using a tally chart.

Super tallying Class 1!

This week Class 1 have been learning how to read number sentences.

We have been recognising the +, – and = signs and learning what they mean. We know that the add sign means ‘more’, so the numbers get bigger, and the subtract sign means ‘less’, so the numbers will get smaller.

We have been using lost of different practical objects to solve number sentences, including play dough, pegs and Lego.

Well done Class 1!

This week in Class 1 we have been reading the story ‘Winnie in Winter’. The children have created their own winter scenes, labelled Winnie’s house, and wrote sentences with our own ideas.

We’ve also been learning the names of some 3D shapes. We have been looking at 3D shapes in our surroundings and finding real life objects to match the shape.

This week we have started our new topic for this half term, Antarctica!

We have been learning about Arctic animals and describing them using interesting adjectives.

We have also been making our very own Arctic animals for display.

This week we’ve been feeling very Christmassy! Reading Christmas sentences, finding the missing numbers on the tree lights, and making Christmas trees and other items with playdoh.

We’ve also been making our Christmas cards and calendars!

Today we’re dressed in our Christmas jumpers in aid of Save the Children. Thank you for all your donations!

This week in Class 1 we have been feeling very Christmassy!

We’ve been making lists of presents we would like from Santa, writing our own letters and posting them to him in our class postbox, and reading ‘A Wish to be a Christmas Tree’.

Another big thank you to all the grown ups who came to see this morning’s assembly. I’m sure you’ll agree they did a fantastic job!

Well done Class 1!

This week we have been talking about the words more and less, and discussing how to find the total of a number of objects. Here, the children are building skyscrapers using numicon, and counting how many windows are in the whole building.

Super counting, Class 1!

This week Class 1 have been practising their blending in the outdoor area. They have been reading the CVC words on the balls, then deciding whether each word is real or ‘alien’ and putting them down the correct chutes.

We’ve also been for our walk around the local area. We know our local area is called Simonside. We were really good at spotting signs from far away and describing them. We also made sure to be very careful when crossing the roads.

Well done Class 1.
