Spotlight learning

This week 14/09/26 - 18/09/26:-

Year 1

English: The children have been doing drama – acting out the story of The Gingerbread Man and hot-seating the characters. The week culminated in preparing and baking delicious gingerbread men!

Maths: Year 1 have been counting on from a particular number and drawing chalk number lines.

Art: Observational drawings of shells.

07/09/26 - 11/09/26: -

Year 1

English: The children have created their story maps of 'Little Red Riding Hood'. They are really good at retelling the story using their actions. Please ask them to retell the story!

Maths:  Year 1 have been counting out 10 objects from a larger group. We have also started to recognise numerals as words. It has been a little tricky but we are learning some tricks to help us remember what each word says. 

History: The children had great fun exploring toys from the past. We had detailed discussions about the similarities and differences between the toys we have today and toys from the past. One thing we noticed was the materials used, toys back then were mostly made out of wood whereas a lot of our toys are made from plastic.

Year 1

What an amazing start to Year One for our Thorpe Acre Infants. We have already enjoyed lots of activities to help our teachers to get to know us.

In English we have been learning about traditional tales, starting with Little Red Riding Hood.  We have been writing labels, lists and captions. 

In Maths we have started our mastery maths lessons, learning how to work well with our partners. We have been counting objects to 10 and sorting objects into groups. 

In Art we have enjoyed drawing spirals in different ways, and in History we have been comparing new and old houses.
