A busy week of learning in Year 1
Class: Year 1 Year: 2023 - 2024
Year 1 have been learning all about toys across the decades, from 1950 to the present day. We sorted toys into the decades and thought about what was similar to the toys children play with today and what was different. The children learnt how to play Jacks and Pick Up Sticks!
We have been learning about the seasons in Geography and Science, working in teams to explore the different seasons. We enjoyed singing a song about the seasons.
In PE we played a fun warm up games called Fishes in the net, where we worked in pairs to catch each other. We practices dribbling using the big toe little toe method and stopping a ball by trapping. We discovered that this isn't as easy as it looks! We got more confident at controlling the ball as we developed our skills.
We have been looking at our character strengths in myHappymind and realising that we are all unique and special and that is what makes us so AMAZING.
We learnt how to make a heart with our hands to remind us of the character strength of love and kindness. We are going to practice developing our character strengths this week.
We will be looking at other character strengths over this half term including bravery and honesty, exploring and learning, teamwork and friendship and love of life and our world.
Our Tool of the Week in Zones of Regulation is helping others.
Our art work is on display in our classroom which show our own interpretation of Kandinsky's work.
In preparation for the weekend we learnt about why we celebrate Bonfire Night and how we can keep ourselves this weekend.
