EIS South West Key Stage 1

Year 1

What another fantastic week it has been in Year 1. In English lessons, we have been working hard becoming more fluent reading words and sentences. We have revised our sounds, letters and are now confident listening to words, sounding them out and writing them correctly. We have also started to focus on how longer sentences are formed and have been putting jumbled sentences back together in the correct order. In Maths, we have been learning greater than, less than and equals to. It has been lovely to see everyone become confident at using these signs with not only just numbers but also number sentences. We also touched on finding 10 more and 10 less than any given 2 digit number. It was important for us to use hundred squares to help us with this task. Our handwriting is also coming along beautifully. Lots of us are really focusing on joining up a few letters in each word to ensure our writing looks more grown up, well done! In Science, we revised our materials knowledge by discussing materials around the classroom and school, and started to talk about how their properties. During Topic lessons, children begun to discuss the world around them, describe different countries they have visited and how they got to the different places. Year 1 had lots of good vocabulary when describing the different places they had been to!
