Well done Emerald Class! You have been working really hard this half term! Here are a few updates on our learning over the last few weeks.
In Music, we have been enjoying learning the song ‘Hey You’. I wonder if the children sometimes sing this at home; it’s very catchy! We learnt and performed the song using the glockenspiel to find the pulse. Emerald Class practised keeping in time with each other. We love our music lessons!
The children also work very hard in their PE lessons! We love to keep fit and stay active!
As part of our Geography lessons, we have been exploring where we live. Emerald Class talked about the different villages and places they know around Nantwich. They wrote about where they live and the places they live near to. We looked at a map of our county, Cheshire. We talked about lots of places we may have visited in our county.
Emerald children created a map using symbols and a key to explore their journey to school. We talked about the different things the children spot on their journeys.
We explored our local area and looked at where we live in the United Kingdom. Emerald children learnt about the four countries of the UK and we discussed some of the places the children have visited. We labelled a map and found out where these countries are located.
Emerald Class worked incredibly hard to create their ‘place in the world’ model. We started with the smallest circle to identify our homes and as the circles got bigger, so was the size of the area we were exploring. Well done Emeralds, you have worked very hard on this activity!
We also had a brilliant seasonal week learning all about Amazing Autumn as part of our work on the seasons in our science learning!
Emerald Class shared their Autumn treasures that they brought in from home. We loved sharing all the wonderful findings! What a beautiful season to explore!
We produced some fantastic descriptions of Autumn linked to our English work. Well done Emeralds. You used some fantastic vocabulary to write about Autumn.
Emerald children have been working so hard and they have made such a brilliant start to their time in Year One! Keep up the amazing work, Emeralds!
We are excited for our next topic, ‘Zoom to the moon!’
