Year 1 News

This week we created artworks modelling the Biology of snails, ants and worms.  We used scientific vocabulary to label the bodies and their habitat. Next week we will be building upon this through oral story telling and writing the facts we know in an information report.  We celebrated St Joseph’s Feast Day and discussed Joseph as a father, carpenter and husband. We learned about the story of Easter, commencing with Palm Sunday, Last Supper, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.  We role played the stations of the cross and will be performing Station 13 and Station 14 in the whole school video. In Maths, we learned that one half is one of two equal parts. We also learned about the features of 2D and 3D shapes.  We can use mathematical vocabulary such as faces, sides, vertices and angles to describe our shapes and sort them into groups. Next week we will be learning how to gather useful data and represent this in picture graphs and bar graphs. We will introduce analysing graphs to make meaning.

Whilst our attendance was 88% this fortnight, I would like to thank parents for keeping students home when they are unwell.  Please help us to keep our school community and wider community safe by keeping students home if they have cold or flu like symptoms, or are generally feeling unwell.
