We
have had another wonderful week in Year One. Our text this week has been
Superworm by Julia Donaldson. First of all we used some playdough to make our
own Superworms. (Thank you Sandra Tink for our pink playdough!) Then we
designed little capes for them to wear. The children enjoyed using their drama
skills in the hall to explore the characters and main events. They used these
skills to help them generate ideas to write sentences about the story.
On
Fridays we go to the school library to share a book by our focus author. This
half term it is… Sue Hendra. Do you have any of her books at home? Last week we
read Supertato. What will the book be this week? Do you have a favourite book
you would like us to share?
This
week’s maths has been focussing on counting objects reliably and ordering
numbers. Why not have a go at this game?
In
PE this week we started by warming up our bodies by playing a very fast paced
game of Copy Me Do. Then we practised our throwing and catching skills. We
learnt how to throw a beanbag underarm for a partner to catch. We all spread
out along the hall and tried to throw and catch as many times as we could with
our partner.
This
week in Music, Lindsay did a song about pirates to help get us even more
enthused for our trip to Time & Tide!
On
Fridays, we send home a Talk Homework. It is an image for you to discuss with
your child or as a family. This week we are also sending home your child’s home
learning book. It has some resources in for you to use with your child if you
wish. This book is for your child to use if they would like to practise any of
their skills and new learning at home.
In
the blog, we will always try to give you some ideas for activities you can do
at home together based on the learning from each week.
So
here goes…
·
Make your own Superworm with playdough. Ask an adult to help you
measure how long it is.
·
Draw a new idea for how Superworm can help other little creatures
·
Play a board game such as Snakes & Ladders to help practise your
maths skills
·
Help prepare your pirate outfit for our school trip
·
Go to the library and look for a book by Sue Hendra
·
Practise throwing and catching a beanbag or ball in your garden or at
the park
·
Download one of the Superworm activity cards for ideas:
We
look forward to seeing some of you at the Year One meeting with Mrs Dewing on
Monday. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to come and see us if you have
any questions or comments.
