Welcome to Vauxhall Bridge Class.
Class teacher: Mr Shahzar
Teaching assistant: Mrs Hunjan
We’ve had a really good first week back and the children have been working really hard.
Our learning objectives this week are:
Maths – This week will be focussing again on time and will be telling the time to the hour and half hour and develop our understanding that the big hand is the minute hand and that the short hand is the hour hand. We will also be writing the time in words for example ‘half past six’. We will be using language relating to the days of the week and months of the year. We will also be comparing, describing and solving practical problems for time [for example, quicker, slower, earlier, later] and measure and begin to record time.
English – This week we will start our new unit of non-fiction writing and will be learning to write a non-chronological report on an insect. We will be asking questions about insects and record them using a question mark, identify the features of a non-fiction book, begin to recognise and use alphabetical order, use a non-fiction text to find information and pick out the relevant information and we will be solving riddles to discover the insect being described.
Science– Children will continue their animals and human science topic with Mrs Crooks.
PE- We will continue our throwing and catching within the game of Lacrosse. Children will also have a PE session on Wednesday with Miss Handley.
RE- We will start to learn about our new religion-Hinduism.
I hope that you all had a lovely Easter holidays and are ready for our final term of year 1! I can’t believe how fast this academic year is going.
Our learning objectives this week are:
Maths – This week will be focussing on place value. We will be learning to order 2 digit numbers, say 1 more or 1 less than a given number, complete missing number sentences, find a number between neighbouring pairs of multiples of ten using our knowledge of place value, add and subtract 10 from any given number and begin to recognise what happens to the number when we do this.
English – On Tuesday afternoon, we will write about our Easter holidays. In our English sessions we will be learning about writing instructions. Children will follow a set of instructions to make something and identify a variety of imperative verbs (bossy words). Children will sequence a set of instructions based on the vocabulary used and finally they will write their own set of instructions to make a jam sandwich.
Science– Children will continue their animals and human science topic with Mrs Crooks.
PE- We will continue our throwing and catching within the game of Lacrosse. Children will also have a PE session on Wednesday with Miss Handley.
RE- We will recap our learning before the Easter holidays and share our understanding of why Christians celebrate Easter.
