Year 1 Newsletter

What an exciting start to the term Year 1 have had!  

We had a very special visit from Spiky the hedgehog!  Spiky had become lost and hid in Mrs Kemmish's shed.  Thank goodness she found him and is now looking after him for a while until he is big enough to live in his proper home.  We suggested that he should live in a forest and drew pictures of what forests look like.  We have also been amazing artists and carefully drew  pictures of hedgehogs with special art pencils. 

We are really enjoying learning all about forest and did a brilliant scavenger hunt, looking for lots of different things that we might find there. 

 

In maths we have been practising lots of counting, recognising numbers quickly by looking at their patterns (e.g. like the spots on a dice) and making numbers in different ways.  

  

In CIP we have been doing some writing about the book Owl Babies, making collage leaves, creating forest scenes with sticks, pine cones, conkers and small insects and much much more!  In science plants have been our focus and we have been investigating their different parts. 

We cannot wait to find out what the next two weeks have in store for us!
