We have had a great week in Year 1 learning
about tigers as part of our ‘Paws, Claws and Whiskers Topic.’ We started the
week by listening to ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea.’ The children helped to
sequence the story on the carpet and then made their own zig zag books which
include captions and sentences as well as excellent illustrations. They all
worked really hard to colour them in too. Later in the week children worked in
groups of 4 and helped retell the story by acting it out.
In Maths we have been learning one more and
one less than a given number. First we practised counting forwards and
backwards on a number line to help with fluency. Then they used number lines
with missing numbers and later had a go at doing it in their heads.
In Geography we continued with the tiger
theme learning where the big cats live and also labelled maps with the 7
continents. In Art the children drew and painted some lovely tiger faces.
We have also been busy with Daily
Activities which the children do independently. This has included designing a
tin of tiger food in case the tiger comes for tea again!
We have stuck the children’s passwords for
Education city and Bug Club in their green reading record books on the inside
of the back cover.
Please could your child have a spare pair
of socks in their PE bag for changing into – especially girls wearing tights.
Could we encourage you to not allow the
children to have lots of keyrings attached to their school bags as we are
experiencing some difficulties with them getting broken and lost. Thank you for your support with this.
We wish
you all a lovely weekend,
From the Year 1 team
