Hello Year One,
The multiplication tests Have now been completed. The children tried their best and should feel proud of how well they learned them.
We are continuing to work on decimals in our maths lessons.
For English the children have been writing explanation texts. This week they explained how a toaster works and then wrote an imaginary text about how an invention could work. They also had a comprehension lesson.
The children have been looking at old photos of Potters Bar and comparing them to recent pictures. They enjoyed finding out which shops had changed and researching why. They noticed the differences in the old police station as it is now a nursery. We explored the reasons for this.
For science we looked at vertebrates. Next week we will explore invertebrates
We learned about our genes in PHSE.
For Spanish we found out how to say our names in Spanish and how to say the letters of the alphabet.
Next Week
