Yr1 Curriculum Update -13/12/19Working together to achieve success for every childWelcome to Year One  Transdisciplinary learning-it's all connectedTis the season to be jolly! It has been a very festive few weeks in Year 1 with many little elves making decorations for their Christmas tree. Not to mention a castle for our friendly 1C Elf on the shelf. We have also been writing letters to Santa and being very sustainable making our own Christmas trees from cardboard or tree branches.   Language We are well under way with our phonics groups and the children have been using their new skills like sounding out words when writing their letters to Santa. Some of us have been inspired by The Jolly Christmas Postman to write letters and Christmas cards and post them in our class mailboxes. This work has helped them understand the postal system. We have also been listening carefully and following instructions to make menus, and making very detailed drawings. Party day was a roaring success filled with crafts, singing, dancing and party snacks.    Mathematics We have been enjoying our measurement unit in mathematics. We have been using all kinds of non-standard units of measurements when ordering objects from smallest to biggest and measuring length. We have also started to look at standard units like scales when weighing objects. Students in 1M used the scales to look at how different objects have different mass…. We discovered that some of them even weigh more even though they look smaller than the other object!  How you can help at home We would love you to think ‘how can I be sustainable this Christmas?'
