Tuesday 14th February

Happy Valentine's Day
(more about that at the end of this week)

Here are our beautiful pieces of art that we made together with Nursery and Reception to start Art Week (previous week).  We all worked together (in small groups!) to produce each big picture.

Snowmen in the style of Eric Carle's tissue paper illustrations in his children's books........




Under the sea collage frieze using all sorts of materials...



The London skyline all coloured by our fingerprints...







Last week we learnt more about Australia. We found out about and then wrote about the Australian flag and found out about the Aboriginal flag too.

In our own writing we are trying to use 'and' to join our sentences. First we think of the two things we want to say, then we say the sentences, then join them with 'and'.  Some of us are using finger spaces and some capital letters and full stops.
We can see a huge difference in how much we are writing and in our handwriting since we started Y1 in September!!! We are very proud of ourselves!!!



In maths we continued to use number lines to complete addition and subtraction number problems. Some children are starting to be able to use the number line to do jumps of ten using numbers up to 100.

We are really enjoying playing in the snow tunnels that we have made outside and are really starting to play together.





We also had an interesting 'play' session at the end of the week as we were able to watch ourselves in the Christmas Concert (see Karina at the Reception desk if you would like a copy!).


Dress Code - Robes!


Homework  

Reading as usual!
Handwriting this week is to try and focus on forming numbers correctly - and the right way round!
