The DISGUSTING Sandwich in Year 1
This week we have started to learn our new story, The Disgusting Sandwich, and have done some work to deepen our understanding of what we are reading.
First we looked at the settings in the story and made some 3D maps using paper manpulation skills.
Then we went into the cafe and made some beautiful sandwiches… which we then dropped in the sand pit, dipped in the pond, rode over them on scooters and more! Just like in the story.
We then took a walk in our local area, learning some key features of Alwoodley and road safety, as we walked to the… park!
Applying our new Sound of the Week!
This week in Year 1 we have been applying our new sound, oi – spoil the boy, in reading and writing. Take a look at some of our sentences.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Over the last week, 1C have been learning the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We have story mapped it and learnt to orally retell it as a class. Take a look to see how we got on:
Mmmmm, porridge tasting!
In equal measures of delight and disgust, Year 1 got busy making and tasting porridge this week! Lots of describing the porridge followed as we got stuck into our new Talk for Writing module ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’.
A week of Poetry…
For our first week back after the break we have been learning all about Grace Darling. We learnt about her life, why she was and is still such an important person in British history. We then used her heroic actions as inspiration to write our own poems about a stormy sea…
Where the ____ are! Stories
Over the past few weeks, Year 1 have been learning the story Where the Wild Things Are and then using this to help us write our own journey stories, focusing on the action in the story. We are thrilled to share some of our stories from across Year 1…
Poetry Week!
For national poetry week Year 1 have been learning the poem “Happy” by Michaela Morgan. We loved learning this poem and then writing some of our own lines for a class innovated poem!
Year 1 are ACE storytellers!
This week we have started to learn the story of The Three Little Pigs. We have made our own story maps, a story mountain and started to put some actions with our storytelling to help us remember different parts of our traditional tale. We will be focusing on the openings and endings of stories over the next couple of weeks and it would be lovely if you can read some traditional tales at home and think about the language used by the authors.
I wonder if you could use the map or the videos of us performing our storytelling to practice at home?
10 days of isolation… but Tough Tortoises never stop!
Today marks the end of our class’ 10 day isolation period and I am thrilled to welcome most of us back on Monday. I am so proud of the way that, as a group, we have persevered through this difficult time. Together, we have acknowledged what we were finding tricky and worked around it.
A huge well done to all our the children in 1C – you are all absolute superstars!
Let’s take a look at some of the learning we’ve been up to over the last 10 days.
Phonics, Writing and Maths:
Over the last 10 days we have continued to engage our learning behaviours and keep our learning moving forwards. In Phonics, we have focused on the sounds o-e phone home and u-e huge brute. In our English lessons we have been looking at information texts and have innovated our model text, as a class, to write a new information text about worms. During our Maths time we concentred on different number bonds and explored different ways of making these.
Reading:
We haven’t had a rest and neither have our reading VIPERS! Over the last 10 days we’ve been using our Vocabulary, Retrieval and Summarise VIPERS when reading stories and non-fiction texts.
Wider Curriculum:
In the afternoons, we have continued to focus on the wider curriculum and have been ACE Dancers, ACE Athletes, ACE Historians, Ace Worshippers and how to be Safe ACE. We have looked at toys from the past and present, listened to stories from both the Bible and the Qu’ran, practised our target throwing and hurdles, choreographed our own dances and thought about how we are feeling about the changes coming up as we begin to think about Year 2.
In other news:
We were really excited to hear that we will have a new Reverend joining us, so we wrote welcome letters to Reverend Lottie!
