Hello there and welcome back to our blog!

We continue to revise our sounds every day, just so we don’t forget any of them. We have been going over our tricky words and using our tricky words to make sentences. We practised writing our sounds and our sentences  making sure we were using our best handwriting.

              

We were also working on consonant blends. These can be quite tricky and we have been playing some matching games to help us.

                              

We have been looking at the number stories of 4, 5, 6 and 7 this week. We have also been working on our adding sums using our adding circles. We then made our own sums and wrote them out on our white boards. We have also been working in our number books drawing and writing 1 more and 2 more.

              

In 1A we have continued to monitor and record the temperature every day in our weather station. Some mornings it has been quite chilly!

                             

This week we made trees for our Autumn board and our Winter board. We drew around our hands and cut them out. We used these to make the leaves on our trees. We also cut strips of brown paper and crepe paper to make all different sizes of branches and twigs to add to our trees. We had gathered leaves from our playground and we painted them different autumnal colours. We then carefully pressed them onto paper to make leaf prints. When they are dry, we are going to cut them out and add them onto our trees.

  

  

In 1B we have been looking at the seasons. As we are going out for our Autumn walk on Thursday we decided to discuss the different seasons. What makes them different? In what way does the weather change? What do we wear when the weather is warm, when it is cold and when it is rainy etc.? We discussed what months of the year are in Spring, what months of the year are in Summer, what months of the year are in Autumn and what months of the year are in Winter.

We painted a seasons display and we are going to finish painting children on our back drop all wearing the appropriate clothes for the time of year.

  

In 1C we read our Percy book again and then watched the film, Percy the Park Keeper. We talked about what we liked and what we didn’t like about the book and the film and which of the two we preferred. We used active expressions to vote on our favourite.
