Summer has arrived!

The weather forecast for the weekend is finally looking good so we are getting into the summer spirit in year one this week!

Literacy 
In Literacy we will continue our work on Poetry and will be writing our very own poems about the seaside! We will think about all of the top tips we have learnt so far from looking at lots of different poems.

We have tried really hard this week to use comparisons in our writing, for example...

The waves at the beach were as rough as sandpaper. 

We have also learnt the word 'alliteration' and have been describing objects using alliteration, for example...

The clever crab crept along the carpark clicking his claws. 

I can't wait to read our poems when they are finished! 

Numeracy
In Numeracy this week we are learning about Odd and Even numbers. See if you can start to recognise odd and even numbers here...
Odd and Even
Odd and Even 2
We will also continue to practise counting in 2s and 5s and using this knowledge to solve word problems and money problems. 

Topic
In Topic we are continuing our theme of Summer by looking at 'Summer Safety'. With summer (hopefully) fast approaching and the beach trip on the horizon I think it is very important for us all to learn how to keep ourselves safe and to learn the responsibilities we have to keep us safe. After introducing this topic we went outside for our afternoon break. Having told the children it was very hot outside so not to run around and to find some shade I turned around to see this........!
