Another busy two weeks in Year 1!
In Reading, we have been looking at digital text features and how the images and sounds help add to the meaning of the text. We watched short films with no words, but with amazing sound effects and then made some of our own sound effects on the iPads.
In Writing, we are writing about our opinions based on a range of topics like cats are better than dogs and recess and lunchtime should be banned. We wrote some of these in a letter and have sent them to some Year 1 students at another school. Hopefully we get a reply!
In Maths, we have been revising our Mathematical Modelling. We have been revisiting our fact families in addition and subtraction and multiplication and division.
In Connected Learning, we have been working on our project for Expo. We are picking a product to improve and innovate on. We are making new designs, labelling our design and then describing what we did.
In Craft, we used our Reading text as inspiration to create some art. The book we read was called ‘Windows’ and told the story of one family’s life over the years, through the window of a little boy. We painted the view out of a window and then cut out a window frame and pasted it over the top.
We also had an awesome afternoon on Friday afternoon at the Mini Ashy Olympics. It was a beautiful sunny day and everyone tried their best. Thank you to the Senior Students and Mr Worlley for a great afternoon.
