It has been another busy week in KS1!
In Maths, 1TS have been using our knowledge on part-whole models to create some addition number sentences. number bonds to ten and subtraction
1MG and 1AC have been working on subtraction that crosses the tens boundary and comparing number sentences using the inequality symbols.
In English, 1TS have learned all about nouns! We have learned what common nouns and proper nouns are and have sorted them into the correct groups.
1MG and 1AC have been writing a non-chronological report all about the famous nurse, Florence Nightingale. We have been applying our knowledge of sentence structure, to produce some amazing work. In our Reading Immersion sessions this week, we have focused on a poem about paper boats travelling down a river. We then made our own paper boats to race down our very own river.
In History, 1TS have been learning all about chronology and timelines. We have explored the terms ‘within living memory’ and ‘beyond living memory’ and we can show where this is represented on a timeline. We made a whole class timeline using construction blocks and used pictures to represent the passing of time since they were born until now. The children loved it!
1MG and 1AC have been comparing the lives of two famous nurses from history. Using our own knowledge, as well as our research, we compared the impact that these significant individuals had on our society today.
Key Instant Recall Facts
KIRFs are facts your child needs to be able to recall with speed and accuracy. We suggest working with your child little and often at home to help them recall these facts to support mental maths work in school.
