Autumn II Week Three This week we were blessed with a visit from Deacon Pat. Before he arrived, we chose children to be parents, Godparents and Grandparents, in preparation for a Baptism. During his stay, we found out more about the symbols used and the words spoken by the priest and family members when this sacrament is celebrated. He finished the visit by giving us all a special blessing.
Autumn II Week Three Number bonds- Year One are such Smarties! Using the part-whole model and a box of Smarties, we made problems for our friends to solve so that we could show off our number bond skills.
Autumn 2 - Week Two. Michael Rosen Day and Year One are off on their own very own bear hunt. Unfortunately, while Old Bear and his friends were playing hide and seek some of their friends went missing... ... Year One to the rescue! Everyone found a bear. Year One have promised to choose a name for them, read to them each night and give them lots of cuddles.
Autumn 2 - Week One - Old Bear- Week One. A beautiful Story Sack appeared in our classroom. Using the clues, we made predictions about the story. We can’t wait to read it. Watch this space for further adventures...
Week Eight - Pumpkin fever... During week eight, the pumpkins arrived in Year One! We enjoyed sharing the story, ‘Granny Put a Pumpkin on Her Noggin’ and acted it out. We used pumpkin coloured pomp poms to help solve our number sentences. Also, our parents popped in to see our art work. We used oil pastels to create our own pumpkins. Year One demonstrated such wonderful blending of colours.
Phonics - Week Seven – Using our Fred Fingers, we have selected the sounds to spell out what is on the cards.
