What a busy week!

English: Our new class book is called 'The Lion Insdie'. We have been learning the story in order to retell it and we have been looking at the main characters.
Maths: Part Part Whole models are where we are at! How does a picture inform a model which then informs number sentences.
We have also had our mini first aid session this morning! Ask your children about what interesting things they learned :)
PLEASE bring in your CHRISTMAS CARDS by FRIDAY 20th OCTOBER 2023!! The date on the bottom is wrong.

English: We have started a new unit about Instructions and are learning about the key features of instructions. We started the week making a jam sandwich. The class instrcuted me on how to make one and then I enjoyed it for my lunch ;) We will continue to learn about instructions in the coming weeks.
Maths: Subtracting using a number line can be a bit tricky! We have been practicing how to do this and we are definitely getting better!
RE: We finished our prayer unit by writing a thank you and forgiveness 'mash-up' prayer. Today we started learning about Advent.
Reminders: We have a KS1 Mass on Friday. Please continue to go over any readings that your child might have.
The weather is getting colder so please remember to send your child in with a winter coat, hat and gloves and please remind your child that we DO NOT EAT THE ICE :)
WC 22.11.23
English: We chenged the story of Lost in the Toy Museum. Bunting, the main character, has come to visit the toys in the Year 1 class. Our toys, lead by Lucious the Lion, played a game of hide and seek with Bunting. Bunting had to search allaround the school. This was the inspiration of our writing this week. We sequenced the places that Bunting looked.
Maths: We have started to look at what subtraction is and the different strateges that we can use to help us take away. We are also linking first, then, now storied to subtraciton number sentneces. First there were 5 birds in the tree. Then 2 birds flew away. Now there are 3 birds. 5-2=3
RE: We continue to look at Prayer. We now know the different ways we can pray and we have made a prayer chain to put in our RE corner. Next week we will write our own prayers.
WC 06.11.23
English: Thank you for the great turnout for the Writing Family Session - it was lovely seeing all the big people faces. I hope you left with a better undestanding of what a basic English lesson looks like. We continue to write about our toys and will be moving on to story book conventions next week.
Maths: We are learning all about number bonds within 10. So we have been making number houses. So the house of 4 would have 5 different bonds that make 4. We will move towards working on number bonds to 10. You have also received the Key Instant Recall Facts letter and the A2 KIRF overview.
RE: We have started a new unit about Prayer and have come to the conclusion that prayer is talking to God. In the coming weeks we will investigate different types of prayer and we will attempt to write our own.
REMINDER: as we are moving into Winter, please make sure your child comes to school with a warm coat. We do tend to go outside for break and lunch even if there is a light rain. Also, please check that all jumpers, fleeces and water bottles are named. There are many jumpers etc around school that do not have names and this makes it difficult to return to the correct child.
