It has been a fantastic start to the week and once again I am delighted to have received so many wonderful emails from the children in Year One.
Millie has been incredibly busy over the past few weeks; she has been enjoying many different science experiments alongside the curriculum tasks set. Millie has continued to work hard in her RE and made a beautiful Easter candle using the correct symbols. She has also been practising her cursive joins and is doing brilliantly with forming her letters correctly, starting and finishing in the right place. Millie used her skills to make a wonderful salad with peppers, cucumber and lettuce as part of her D&T work, she showed her ability to sensibly use a knife and served it up at dinner time. I can’t wait to see what Millie gets up to this week!
Phoebe has started the week focusing on maths and our unit of measure. She used a ruler to measure how far she could throw her NASA rocket. One throw was so far that the ruler could not measure the distance so Phoebe had to revise her adding skills to get to the right answer. A great start!
It was lovely to receive an email from Willow showing all of the activities she was most proud of over the past few weeks. It was great to see how well Willow has been getting on and I especially enjoyed the writing and reflection that Willow wrote from the Women at the tomb. It was also lovely to see how hard Willow is trying with her reading comprehension. Well done Willow! Keep it up!
Grace has had another good start to the week despite losing her tooth! She has been working hard on her maths this week as well as her RE and reading comprehension. Grace is trying hard with her cursive writing and continues to try her best with the tasks set. I can’t wait to see what else Grace gets up to this week.
It was lovely to receive an email from George this week. He has been very busy completing all of the different tasks set and has worked particularly hard on his handwriting and RE last week. It was lovely to see that the seeds George has planted have begun to grow and his work in science will hopefully be reality in a few weeks’ time when he will be able to see the life cycle of plants. Well done George!
Evie set out a prayer service for her family and led this prayer service. Despite finding it a little bit tricky with younger sibling it was lovely to see Evie setting such a wonderful example and continuing to live out her faith at home. Well done Evie!
Emily sent another update showing her fantastic brochure on Penzance. This week the children were comparing our city of Coventry to another part of the UK and comparing the similarities and differences. Emily created a lovely brochure describing what to expect from the town. All that work looking at beaches as well as the beautiful sunshine this week, really made Emily want to go to the sea! Emily also worked on her description of Mrs Twit and I loved the picture that she drew at the end! To finish the week Emily has been working on our farm to food unit in D&T and created the journey of a strawberry as a flowchart. Have a look and see if you can trace where your favourite food comes from!
Grace has been busy once again and has managed to complete some additional tasks this week too. Not only has she dyed her hair using crepe paper but she has also completed many different experiments! Keep focusing on those ‘Working Scientifically’ skills Grace. Grace has also taken part in practical maths focus this week of measurement, she has weighed different objects using some kitchen weighing scales and has measured different items using a ruler too! Grace also decided she would prefer to live in Penzance because she likes the sea and there are less people living there. Well done Grace!
Phoebe continued her hard work in maths and collected items from around the kitchen. She looked at the information on the packets that explained what they weighed and ordered them from lightest to heaviest. In her D&T work this week Phoebe decided to look at the journey of a tomato (despite her dislike of them) and followed it right from planting to eating. She also added some lovely drawings to her flowchart to show what happens at each stage. Great work!
Evie emailed over her brochure on Penzance this week. She used some lovely descriptive language and persuasion to make Penzance sound like the dream destination. Her cursive writing looks amazing and all that hard work is definitely paying off! Evie also drew some lovely pictures showing the landscape and activities you can do in Penzance. It is definitely making me want to go! Evie also went beyond the curriculum this week and it was lovely to receive a photo of Evie using a telescope to look at the moon. It has been the ‘flower moon’ this week, the last super moon of the year. As you can see it is very impressive so if you ask your parents very nicely and are well-behaved they might just let you out to have a look yourself. Well done Evie!
