Our first week in 1.1

We have had a fantastic first week in our new class.  Everyone has been very sensible and Miss Bowkett and Miss Roberts are really impressed with everyone's hard work.

So, what have we been up to this week?




In English we have been reading the story 'We're going on a Bear Hunt'.  We were very good at remembering the order of the story and we enjoyed working in groups to sequence pictures and it out.  Some of us came up with some great actions!

We have also learned a grown up word this week.  I wonder if anyone can remember what an adjective is?  We were certainly very good at thinking of our own in our writing!







In Maths we have been working on number recognition and counting.  We have been finding missing numbers in sequences, matching objects to number cards and we even managed to solve some addition and subtraction problems where we had to add and subtract one.

In Phonics we have been remembering some of our key sounds.  Our naughty monster flash cards have been helping us.

The key words we have focussed on this week are:

my, all, her, do, when, out, what.

Our afternoon lessons this week have mainly been PSHE based.  We spent a lot of time thinking about how to be a good classmate and the children in 1.1 have been trying very hard to follow their own advice.

On Wednesday, we celebrated the fact that our queen became the longest reigning monarch.  We had a lot of fun learning some interesting facts about the queen.

Miss Taylor's group made some fabulous crowns.





I wonder if anyone can remember the answers to these questions?

What is the Queen's full name?
How old is our Queen?
Where does the Queen live?
Who in our class does she share a birthday with?



After learning about Queen Elizabeth, 1.1 were very excited to take part in Mrs Roberts' whole-school competition.  They had to draw a portrait of the Queen.  Miss Bowkett and Miss Roberts were so impressed with some of the artistic skills they saw!  We think the portraits look fantastic on our display board!

We can't wait to find out who will win the competition and receive a special gold coin.
