Please continue to read with your child every day, recording their reading on Boomreader. 

This week in maths the children have been learning about part-part whole. They have done a brilliant job with this and have even learnt about the number sentence and fact family that goes along with it. 

In English we have continued with our power of reading book - Beegu- and the children have had a go at role play. We have some fantastic actors and actresses within year 1 who really captured the feelings and emotions of the characters in the story.

In Art, the children have had a go at using oil pastels to do an observational drawing of an orange. They paid attention to the gradual blending of colours and the details which they could see. 

In Science we have continued to learn about our 5 senses. Next week we will be exploring taste. We would like the children to taste a few different foods, encouraging them to use vocabulary to describe what they taste like - banana, honey, pepper, lemon, carrot, salted crisps. We understand that some children may not like the taste but will still encourage them to give it a go so they can taste the difference between sweet, salty and sour. If there are any children who are allergic to these foods please can you let us know.
