Wow what a busy first week Year 1 have had!

We have enjoyed reading The Shopping Basket by John Burningham and acting out the story. We have made food for the basket and labels for items in the shop. Mrs Garvey and Miss Holmes were very impressed with our sentences we wrote about the story.

In Maths we have counted forwards and backwards and ordered numbers We have enjoyed using our Maths No Problem books.

Just how many different adjectives can you think of to describe a noun? This was our challenge in literacy this morning.  We played a listening game where we passed around an object and then had to think of a word, words or even a phrase to describe the object. It was a challenge to think of a different word if someone said the word we were thinking of!  For our VCOP board, our class task was to describe the skull of an animal. We had words like delicate and breakable which are super! Our words and phrases are now around the skull on the VCOP board.  Well done everyone!

This morning we have been recalling what we know about 2D shapes and their ‘properties’.  Can your child tell you what we mean by ‘properties’ of a shape?

One game we played was to get the class to give clues to the person on the hot-seat who had to guess which shape was hidden behind their back. This was good fun as we had to really think of good clues but remember not to give too much information too soon.  The children on the hot-seat did a really good job of visualising the shape being described.

Mrs Jones, Mrs Bird and Mrs Matthews are all very proud and pleased with the way LB2 children have started the new term.  Everyone is very focused and grown up with a fantastic attitude to their learning and all have settled into their new routines with ease.  Well done children!

Keep an eye out for the new Home Learning books that will be sent home today. The task is to decorate their book (please see the inserted sheet inside the new Home Learning book for ideas).

5AB launched their Autumn ‘Space’ theme with a bang by launching water-powered rockets. More importantly, they made parachutes to help them return safely to Earth as we explored the effects of air resistance.

It turns out, trying to photograph a flying rocket is harder than it looks…
