  • Week 8 Overview

    Published 18/06/26

    This week has been another busy and exciting one in Year 1!

    Our History learning has taken us back in time as we explored how the beach has changed since the 1900s. We looked at entertainment on the beach, activities on the piers and what life by the seaside was like in the past compared to today.

    RE lessons focused on learning about mosques as sacred places for Muslims. The children discovered different ways that Muslims show they belong to a mosque, including reading the Qur'an, praying together and being part of their community.

    There has also been lots of excitement building as we have spent time practising for Sports Day. The children have been very active and are looking forward to showing off their skills on the big day. We just hope it doesn't get too hot!

    One of the highlights of the week was our fantastic Seaside Day. The children created their own wonderful 3D seaside models, showing lots of creativity and attention to detail. We were also lucky enough to have an RNLI assembly, where we learnt all about staying safe around water and even got the chance to dress up in lifeguard outfits.

    To finish the week, we were invited to watch the KS2 Talent Show. We were amazed by all the brilliant performances and enjoyed cheering on the talented children on stage. Well done to everyone who took part!

    Another wonderful week packed full of learning, creativity and fun! 🌊☀️🏖️🎭🏅

    What a busy week we have had in Pear Class! The children have worked incredibly hard during their phonics screening checks, and we are so proud of every single one of them for the effort and determination they have shown.

    Despite our busy week, there has still been lots of fantastic learning taking place. Our English focus has been poetry and rhyme. We started the week by writing our own acrostic poems for World Ocean Day, and we were lucky enough to have a lovely assembly from the Eco Team, who taught us all about the importance of looking after our oceans and marine life.

    Later in the week, we explored different digraphs that make the same sound and used these words to create our very own rhyming couplets. The children loved playing with language and coming up with some brilliant rhymes.

    Maths brought a challenge of its own as we worked to complete our 100 number squares. The children had to carefully fill in all the numbers from 1 to 100, using their knowledge of number patterns to help them.

    It has been a week full of hard work, creativity and perseverance, and we couldn't be prouder of how the children have approached every challenge! 🌊📚🔢✨

    We started Summer 2, the final half-term of Year 1, with lots of excitement and even found out who our teachers will be in Year 2!

    Our English learning was based on the story Bright Stanley. The children enjoyed retelling the story and used some fantastic adjectives to make their writing more detailed and interesting.

    Fractions were the focus in Maths this week. The children learnt how to find a half and a quarter of a number, before applying this knowledge to finding halves and quarters of shapes too.

    History took us back in time as we thought about our own past experiences. Everyone enjoyed recalling a special holiday or day out and sharing their memories with Miss Hayball and Mrs Rendell, making sure to include lots of details about what happened.

    To finish the week, we were treated to a wonderful performance by Year 5. Their presentation on the Victorians was fantastic and we especially enjoyed all of the singing!

    A brilliant start to our final half-term in Year 1, and we can't wait to see what the next few weeks have in store! 🌟📚🎭🎶
