Stars of the Week: Anusha and Albert
Our first week of the new half term has been busy! In English we started our new class text, Paddington. We have been using adjectives to describe what Paddington looks like, what his personality is like and how he is feeling at different points of the story. I have been impressed with the interesting vocabulary Class 1 have been using. Cruz wrote a sentence about Paddington feeling exhausted after his long journey from South America to London. Noah wrote about Paddington’s knees wobbling with nerves before meeting Mrs Bird the housekeeper. Wow!
In Maths we started our new unit on addition and subtraction. We have been using counters and the part- whole model to partition a number between 1 and 10 in different ways. The children in Class 1 enjoyed working with their partners to find how many different ways they could make the number 8.
We wrote prayers in RE this week, making sure we started with ‘Dear God’ and included a sentence starting with ‘thank you’ and ‘please’ and finishing with Amen. Many children wrote thoughtful prayers asking God to keep their family and friends happy and healthy.
Next week we will be be writing diary entries describing Paddington’s first day in London. Keep an eye out here next week to see examples of our fantastic writing!
