Year 1A
The students in Year 1A have been focusing on their sentence construction during writing this term. Just ask them and they will be able to tell you that all sentences start with a capital letter, have fingerspaces and punctuation. They have also been learning about proper nouns and the need for capital letters when they are writing someone’s name.

In maths, they have been demonstrating their knowledge of number sequences using a range of hands on materials. We have learnt some fun new games including ‘buzz off’ as a way to practise these number sequences. This week our focus has been addition and the strategy of counting-on to solve simple addition algorithms. We have spent time collecting and analysing data this term. As you can see in the graph, the students in 1A enjoy lots of different kinds of treats!

At the start of the year we learnt about St Joseph. At our school we recognise St Joseph the worker and St Joseph the Patron Saint of Families. The student’s in Year 1 now know that there is only 1 St
Joseph who we celebrate for many reasons. We made our own stained glass windows of St Joseph to decorate our room.

This week we also celebrated Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent and it is also known as Pancake Tuesday. The students in 1A loved their pancakes.

Many thanks
