This week in English, we began learning about non-chronological reports using the topic of wolves. We discussed what information is needed and explored key vocabulary linked to our three subheadings: Where do they live?, What do they look like? and What do they eat?. We also practised using common exception words that will help us with our writing. Towards the end of the week, we started thinking about the title and introduction we would like to use for our own reports.
In Maths, we focused on adding within 20. We practised adding ones, using and making number bonds within 20, and ended the week by learning about doubles and near doubles.
In Science, our topic has been exercise and how it affects the body. We were able to use our knowledge from PE to support our learning and took part in lots of physical activity to help us understand how exercise helps to keep us healthy.
In Art, we began planning our final piece of artwork. We explored and chose colours using primary and secondary colours and discussed the different simple print-making styles we would like to use.
It has been a busy and enjoyable week of learning for Year 1!
