We've had a busy week in Year 1 learning new songs for our Christmas performance. They're really catchy and keep coming into our mind! Mrs Turnbull worked with us to create something we are going to be wearing for our performance.
In PE we have been learning how to punt a ball (striking the ball with our instep), which was lots of fun. We all got so much better at it as we practised!
We finished our history topic today, using our knowledge of toys from the past and toys in the present to do posters showing what we would have in our museum.

Year 1 we have been identifying toys which are old and toys which are new. We have enjoyed looking at games that we play today and comparing them to games which were played around 50 years ago and across recent decades. Thank you to our King's students who supported us when we played the games. Children played a range of games including Operation, Kerolunk, One Pop, Guess Who, Jacks, a jigsaw, Snakes and Ladders, Game of Life. We learnt how to set up the games, learn the rules, keep to the rules. We practised taking turns.
In phonics we practised our writing, using our phonic knowledge to write new words.
In maths, we looked at odd and even numbers, noticing that even numbers are made up of 2s and odd numbers have an odd 1.

Year 1 have been learning all about toys across the decades, from 1950 to the present day. We sorted toys into the decades and thought about what was similar to the toys children play with today and what was different. The children learnt how to play Jacks and Pick Up Sticks!
We have been learning about the seasons in Geography and Science, working in teams to explore the different seasons. We enjoyed singing a song about the seasons.
In PE we played a fun warm up games called Fishes in the net, where we worked in pairs to catch each other. We practices dribbling using the big toe little toe method and stopping a ball by trapping. We discovered that this isn't as easy as it looks! We got more confident at controlling the ball as we developed our skills.
We have been looking at our character strengths in myHappymind and realising that we are all unique and special and that is what makes us so AMAZING.
We learnt how to make a heart with our hands to remind us of the character strength of love and kindness. We are going to practice developing our character strengths this week.
We will be looking at other character strengths over this half term including bravery and honesty, exploring and learning, teamwork and friendship and love of life and our world.

Our art work is on display in our classroom which show our own interpretation of Kandinsky's work.
