WB: 1.6.26
Year 1
In English, we began our new writing topic of recount letters. The children will be writing to Mrs Baker as the Gingerbread Man, recounting the chronological events he experienced after leaving her house to avoid being eaten! We have enjoyed identifying the verbs and subjects in fully punctuated sentences and recording these in tables. We have also continued practising our letter formation. To help us understand the style and structure of a recount letter, we used ChatGPT to create a letter from the Gingerbread Man to Mrs Baker, which the children thoroughly enjoyed.
In Maths, we have been working with numbers to 100, placing them on number lines and identifying which numbers are greater than or less than others. We then moved on to comparing numbers within 100 that have the same number of tens. The children especially enjoyed using the tables to record and share their learning.
In History, we began our exciting new topic on Hospitals and Healthcare. The children became historian detectives and investigated five pieces of photographic evidence. They first decided whether each photograph was from the past or present and explained their reasoning. We then carried out further research to discover what was happening in each image and what it could tell us about healthcare over time.
Well done, Year 1, on a brilliant first week back. Keep up the fantastic work!
