Year 1
Thursday 4th May 2023
This week in PSHE, Year 1 have explored identifying different feelings and expressing them through the text 'The Colour Monster.' We read the book together and recognised how The Colour Monster was feeling in different parts of the book and why. These were linked to different colours and we discussed our favourite colours and what colours we think match different emotions. We created our own Colour Monsters and used different colours to explore how our monsters could be feeling and why.

This week in Year 1, we have been having some lovely adventures. To support our learning in English of the Stick Man story, and our leaning in Science about animals we took a trip to Belfairs Woods. Its was wet and muddy but fun was had by all!
Last week in Geography, Year 1 were been learning about maps. We looked at an ariel photograph of our school and took a walk around the grounds to identify areas shown on the map. We then created our own maps of the school. We have also been using Now>Press>Play to listen and act out a magical journey following a map, learning about North, South, East and West.

Today, we learnt the importance of warming up our voices and started to learn the song 'Three Little Birds'.
