We've been busy, busy, busy in Year 1 in our first full week back to school after Christmas! The children have been so excited by our new topic 'Why is Africa is special place?' especially in our art lesson, where we looked closely at African masks and did some amazing observational drawings of them using oil pastels.
In our writing lessons, we started a story writing unit and began by investigating tortoises! We went into the immersion room to watch a video and looked closely at pictures on the walls. We worked together to think of lots of words to describe how they look and how they move, wrote them on post its and stuck them on the walls! Following that we began to learn the traditional African story 'How the tortoise got its shell', using a story map and actions. It was great fun!
Finding the difference between 2 numbers has been our focus for maths this week. The children have worked so hard at this tricky concept and we are so proud of them!
In our first ever World Views lesson we focused on bullying. We acted out some bullying scenarios and thought about why people might bully others. In RE we are exploring friendship and what makes a good friend. We have learnt some stories from the Bible where Jesus was a good friend, such as when Jesus met Zacchaeus.
