For our worship challenge this morning year 1 looked at the four domains of spiritually and how they link to the tree of life. The children went outside and focused on nature and how we can use this to connect to others and God.
In science yesterday year 1 were tasked with identifying the property of different materials. They had to use their scientific knowledge to decide which side to run to or whether the material had both properties and to stay in the middle. This supported the children in working scientifically to complete a written task of a Venn diagram.
In Geography this afternoon, year 1 have been focusing on directional language and using this to move the teddy bear around the map.
Well, what a fab afternoon of Geography Year One have had today! They first of all identified features on a map and decided if they were physical or human. Next they worked together to create a big picture map using these features and a selection of different materials to show these. Finally they drew their own maps using a photo map of our school and the surrounding area.
Year One have been learning about how to construct sentences today. They identified who, what, where and when from given cards and then arranged them correctly looking for the capital letter to start and the full stop to end.
Year One have been super detectives this afternoon in Science. They identified and classified a variety of everyday objects according to the materials they were made out of. They even started to think about the materials properties ready for our learning next week.
On Friday, Year 1 enjoyed a practical maths lesson involving the “greater than”, “less than” and “equal to” signs. Children worked well in pairs, using the correct vocabulary and symbol to compare amounts. Amazing work Year 1!
Year 5 and Year 1 enjoyed working together for International Day of Peace. We completed all of our prayer space stations with peace as our main focus in each task. Year 5 were a great support to Year 1 and helped them to complete each station.
On Friday, Year 1 listened to different instruments, paying special attention to their sounds and how they are played. Children then sorted instruments into categories such as blow, strike, shake and pluck. This forms part of our “Sustained Listening” unit in Music, which the children really seem to enjoy!
On Friday, Year 1 practised catching an object with precision and accuracy. First of all, children recapped on their skills learnt in Reception and then moved onto catching a bean bag while moving around and weaving in and out of others. Children were challenged to see if they could clap before they caught the beanbag, which they absolutely loved. Well done Year 1!
