Year 1 Computing: Collecting data
In computing this week, Year 1 had an unplugged lesson exploring data. First, we answered questions about some of our favourite things, we voted using cubes. Once everyone had picked their favourite, we could see some very interesting information ... DATA! The information that can be collected and used is called "data" and our data showed that Year 1's favourite animal is a rabbit and our favourite ice cream flavour is a tie between chocolate and strawberry.
Year 1 Phonics: 'ou' as in 'house'
One of our many sounds in Year 1 phonics this week was the phase 5 sound 'ou' as in 'house'. The children listened carefully to the phonemes in different 'ou' words when segmenting, and then used our letter join formation to write the graphemes. It sounds like a lot of work and Year 1 should be shouting loud and proud about their learning! (P.s. How many 'ou' words did you see here?)
Year 1 PE: Tracking the ball
This week in PE, Year 1 focused on developing the vital skill of tracking the ball. This involves using both their eyes and their body to follow the ball's movement . Each child had to defend their net against an opponent trying to score, which meant constantly keeping their eyes on the ball, anticipating where it was going, and using quick body movements to successfully intercept or block the shot. The children demonstrated great effort in staying balanced and reacting quickly to the path of the ball, which is a key skill for many sports!
Year 1 Maths: Understanding 10
This week, Year 1 focused on understanding the number 10. We used counters and ten frames to test different number combinations to make our whole number: 10. We also did some SILENT maths, and used our fingers to represent the different number bonds that make 10. To consolidate this knowledge, children worked independently on various activities to reinforce their understanding of number bonds within 10, helping them develop speed and confidence within the subject.
