Our Learning this Week

English

This week we have finished our books inspired by the story We're Going on a Elf Chase. The children have been focusing on using adjectives and nouns in Year 1, and expanding their sentences with a conjunction. The children have really enjoyed our handwriting sessions this week and it's lovely to see them trying to implement what they have learnt in handwriting into their writing across all subjects. 

Maths

This week we have started a new unit on shape. We began the week by exploring the names of 2D and 3D shapes and discussing the properties of shapes. Learning that sides join together the vertices, and that 3D shapes have edges and faces. We then focused on identifying shapes and explaining what makes each shape identifiable. We then discussed 3D shapes and thought about real life objects which are made from these shapes as well as investigating what shapes could be made with lollypop sticks.

* Times Tables to practise are 2x, 5x and 10x. Once these have been learnt please practise the 3 times table.

Topic

This week's topic lessons have been art, where the children have learnt about primary colours and how we can mix them to make secondary colours. We have also learnt new painting techniques and practised these in our sketchbooks. At the end of the week, the children painted a wash background on their canvas ready to recreate Monet's "Breaking Waves" painting next week.
