Our Learning Journey
Autumn 1
We started off our time in Year 1 by looking at our British Values. We practised democracy by voting for our house captain and looking at how we are all individuals and that it is OK to have different opinions and views. In PSHE we learnt about how to keep ourselves safe when out and about and online. We learnt about strategies we can use when what we get angry.
In Maths we are learning about number and place value, addition and subtraction, measurement (length and mass/weight) and geometry.
Our text in Literacy this term is The Enormous Turnip. We have learnt the story by heart and used it to write our own versions.
The Enormous Turnip
Our RE work has been all about Harvest and how we can help those who do not have a good harvest. We learnt about how the farmers gather the harvest and made harvest machinery!
CERTIFICATE WINNERS
Each week we award up to 4 certificates to children that have really shown an improvement or a great attitude to learning in Reading, Writing, Maths, our Christian Value of Love. We also hand out Dojo certificates and badges on Fridays for those children who have met a key Dojo milestone!
