Hello everyone and welcome to our Year 1 class page. My name is Miss Draxler and I am the Year 1 class teacher. I will be working alongside Mrs Collett who will be Year 1's teaching assistant this year. 

 

Keep a look out for latest news,events and updates happening in our class. 

 

Literacy

This week in Literacy we have been using describing words (adjectives) to describe the colour, size and shape of robots. Some of us challenged ourselves and described how the robot was feeling in the story too. Click on the video link below  and have a go at describing the robot in this story!

 

 

Check out this new site to help your child with phonics.

There are a range of videos you can watch which are organised

in phases. Start on Phase 3 and move up or down the

phases to suit your child's learning needs. Have fun!

In literacy we will be reading a range of robot stories and we will be writing our own robot stories too.  We will also be writing a set of instructions for our robots. During our writing lessons we will be thinking about where full stops and capital letters go in a sentence, using finger spaces, using our Freddie Fingers to write words and using connectives (and/ because) to join two sentences together.

 

Numeracy

In numeracy we will be continuing to count up and back from 100 starting at any number. We will using the splat square (see link below) to help us with this. We will also be learning more about addition and subtraction and identifying and describing a range of 2D shapes.

 

DT

In Design and Technology we will be finding out about and making our very own robots!

 

History

This half term we will be learning all about toys. There will be a particular focus on looking at toys from the past and comparing them to toys we play with today.

 

Science

In science this half term we are learning about Materials. We will be identifying a range of materials, using adjectives to describe them and sorting them based of their properties.  We will then describe which materials will be best to use when we build our robot.

This half term our topic is:

 

Literacy

In our writing we are learning about upper case and lower case letters. We are also thinking about the difference between the name of the letter and the sound it makes.
