This week in Maths, Year 1 have been learning about number composition 1-10. We have been focusing on counting with 1:1 correspondence, representing amounts with numerals and using correct number formation. In English, we learnt about 'being nouns' and 'actions nouns' and in Exciting Writing we wrote a self-description. We were introduced to our new topic of 'The Great Fire of London', explored how to camouflage a bird in our surroundings in Forest School and in PE we learnt how to safely move in a variety of ways, follow instructions and balance.
In Reception, we have continued thinking about our feelings and have completed many Colour Monster activities during Busy Learning. Reception have been learning about numbers 1-3 in Maths by looking at how to write the numerals and how to represent each number. They also looked at how to group objects by their characteristics, such as colour, size and type. In Phonics, we have been focusing on our listening skills by identifying sounds around us and hearing syllables in words.

A short but fun-filled week to ease us back in. This week we have been thinking about what we want our classroom to look like this year. Alongside talking about class rules and managing our emotions, we also read the story 'Have you filled a bucket today?'. We thought about how our actions and words impact others and came up with different ways to fill people's buckets with happiness and kindness. We have also loved learning some Makaton signs, including our names, greetings and emotions. Year 1 were super excited to have their first English lessons where we learnt about common and proper nouns.
We've all had a super few days and I look forward to our first full week together! Quick reminders for next week- PE will start on Monday so PE kits must be in school. Year 1 Mathletics will be set on Monday and due on Sunday (log ins in diaries). Reading books have come home and will be changed on Monday.
