Weekly Review and Preview

Y1 Weekly Update: Monday 15th May - Friday 19th May

 

	This Week	Next week
English	We started looking explanatory texts.  We designed machines and began to explain how they work.	We will use the features of explanations to write about how our machines work.
Maths	We have identified halves and quarters in shapes and found different amounts in Thai Baht.	We will order two digit numbers.
Topic	We finished our topic about plants sustaining life on Earth and playing a role in our lives by making posters explaining why plants are important.	We will begin our new topic called ‘People play different roles in the community to which they belong.’  If any parents would like to come in and talk about their jobs for ten minutes from Monday 29th May - Friday 5th June, please let me know!  This will be when we are in our ‘finding out’ phase and it would be super to have some parents speak to the class for ten minutes about what they do everyday in their jobs.   Please email me if you would like to do this.
PSHE	We made cards for other people to tell them why we like them.	We will reflect on what we do well in reading, writing and maths, and identify what we need to work on.  We will consider how we would rate our behaviour and effort in lessons.
Optional Homework	Complete some Science experiments at home.  This website has some good suggestions: http://www.iflscience.com/chemistry/unfinished-20-fun-science-experiments-you-can-do-home/ Take photos to show me what you have done!
Notices and Events	Science Week has been great fun!  Y1C investigated very well during Science Day! Our trip to Kidzania is on Wednesday 24th May.  Please ensure your child wears their PE kit. Just a reminder that KS1 should not be going to the coffee shop on their own.  Also, please do not buy other children snacks from there due to allergies. Homework will be given out on Monday and is due in on Friday. Mr Renie’s weekly newsletter is posted on  http://ascoteypynews.blogspot.com/ . You are still welcome to come and chat to me about your child on Mondays between 3.10pm and 4.00pm.   Miss Yell is still helping in our class this term in order to provide more individualised attention to each child.
