Year 1 2019 - 2020

The Year 1 Kings and Queens have had a fantastic start to the new term.

Our Spring term begins with a royal greeting as we would like to welcome back the newly appointed Kings and Queens of Vernon Primary School. We hope the new monarchs have their crowns and cloaks ready for a right royal start to the term.

Our Learning:

In Maths

We have been leanring our number bonds. We first looked at number bonds to 10 and then made the link to 20.

7 + 3 = 10

17 + 3 = 20

We have also been practising jumping back using a numberline to answer subtraction questions. We have been using our knowledge of place value to help partition numbers. Finally the Queen sent Year 1 some subtraction word problems which we have been finding the answers to.

In English

We have been looking at the text 'The Queen's Hat' by Steve Antony. We have described the hat using adjectives and thought about how the Queen would feel when the hat flew off her head! We innovated the story and the children thought of some fantastic endings.

In our Foundation Subjects

In Science we have been catergorising different materials. The children have been looking around their classroom finding objects made out of wood, plastic and metal.

In History we have been looking at our Royal Family and their family tree. We have also been discussing what a Monarch and a Monarchy is.

Please note that our PE and Games days are Tuesday and Wednesday.

All Children are expected to have the correct PE kit for indoor and outdoor PE. During the Winter children are allowed to wear blue or black leggings or tracksuit bottoms.
