Year 1 – Willow Class
What We’ve Been Up To This Term
How fun are my grandparents’ toys?
As well as our key text, Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne, we will be learning all about how our grandparents’ lives are different to our own.
Books your child could read at home:
- Where’s My Teddy? by Jez Alborough
- Dogger by Shirley Hughes
- On the Way Home by Jill Murphy
What we have been doing!
In Willow class we have had a specialist art teacher come in from St John’s to help us make some animal art, we have painted different farm animals and made collages of the countryside and the city. We have also read Farmer Duck and enjoyed doing lots of different writing surrounding the book including writing some bossy instructions for Farmer Duck to leave around the farm when he goes on holiday. We have also done lots of learning outside this term and have hunted round the playground with our clipboards writing down a list of all the plural nouns we could see. The children in Willow class have also been learning about how to be a good friend, complimenting children in the morning and writing cards to our friends telling them why they are special. We also love story time and have enjoyed reading lots of different books and talking about them, our class favourite is The Book With No Pictures.
