Autumn 2

Wow, we can’t quite believe that a term has passed already! What a busy time we have had!
We have worked very hard with all our subjects, and have also managed to practise, then perform a Nativity. We hope you enjoyed our ‘Angel Express’ performance. The children did a fantastic job, and we were very proud of their speaking and acting skills. 
This term we have been working on 2D and 3D shapes in Maths. We have also been looking at fact families, and part-whole models.
In English, we have been learning how to create story maps and plans, so that we could write our own stories. We also had Tempest Fugit visit us, where we enjoyed watching the stories Jack and the Beanstalk and Goldilocks. These have all helped the children write their own fantastic story based on the story The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig.
Where possible, we have tried to get outside to enhance our learning through nature and natural objects. 
 
We hope you all have a lovely Christmas, and look forward to seeing you in 2025!

Autumn 1

The Year 1 children have settled into their new classes very well and have enthusiastically taken part in all aspects of their learning. We have been extremely proud of their attitudes and efforts. 

We have been very busy during our 'Marvellous Me' topic. We have created our own portraits in the style of Pablo Picasso after looking at his art work that had an emphasis on cubism. We all thoroughly enjoyed art week and learning about the very talented Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama.

The children have practised their counting and sorting skills in mathematics and have begun to calculate their own addition sentences by filling in part whole models. We have identified fact families and learnt that the answer to a calculation can sometimes be found at the start of a number sentence.

During science lessons, the children have learnt the different body parts and how important our senses are to find out about the world. We have carried out some experiments to find out answers to questions, such as "Are two eyes better than one?"

In geography we have enjoyed learning about the different countries in the United Kingdom and looking at maps closer to home. The children have navigated maps and created their own aerial maps of the classroom using keys. They have learnt about and identified human and physical features on local maps of Guiseley, Yeadon and Ilkley.

Through our history lessons we have learnt how to put events in chronological order on a time line and we got to look at pictures of our grandparents when they were our age.

Both classes were excited to visit the computer suite and have all been taught to login using their own usernames and passwords. They can now navigate a word document to type, delete and edit text. Perhaps they could show you what they have learnt over the holidays.
