Class 1 Archive 2023 24

This week in Class 1 we have been learning how to estimate. We know that this is just a posh word for a guess, and we know that it doesn’t matter if we are wrong, as long as our guess is sensible.

This week we’ve been outside practising our sound recognition and blending by using water squirters.

Here are some of us reading CVC words and identifying individual sounds.

We’ve also began an experiment using celery and food colouring. We’ve all given predictions based on what we think will happen, and we will keep checking back to see if we are correct.

This week we’ve been learning about 2D shapes.

We have been using shapes in the maths area to create pictures, talking about their properties, and naming them.

We’ve also been creating patterns with shapes, some using two shapes, and some using three.

On Tuesday we also performed ‘Dingle Dangle Scarecrow’ in the Awesome Autumn show!

And on Friday we performed ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ for our very first class assembly. A big thank you to all of the grown-ups for coming!

What a busy week! Well done Class 1!

This week in Class 1 we have been learning about Autumn. We know that it is the season where the weather starts to get colder, the leaves change colour, and the nights get longer.

We’ve been gathering leaves from outside and using them to create our own Autumn collages.

We also had a visit from police officer Dan, who taught us all about what it’s like being a police officer.

He even let us dress up in some of his uniform!

This week in Class 1 we’ve been practising and recognising and ordering the numbers to 10.

We’ve also been learning the sounds o, c, and k.

This week we’ve been practising writing all of the sounds we have learned so far. Here are some of us practising writing the ‘m’ sound!

This week in Class 1 we have been thinking about Ourselves. We have been writing/drawing things we like and dislike, and have begun to paint portraits of ourselves for display.

This week in Class 1 we have been settling into our new classroom and the routines in our school.

In maths, we have been playing lots of number games involving counting and ordering.

In phonics we have been learning the sounds ‘s’, ‘a’, and ‘t’, and looking at items which start with these sounds.

In Understanding the World we have been talking about people who help us, and in our choosing time, some of us had a go at drawing them.

Well done to Harrison and Kacey, who are this week’s Golden Award winners, and the very first winners in Class 1 this year! A big well done to Grace as well, who has tried the hardest this week with her handwriting.
