Year 1 Update – Week 23
Where We Are in Place and Time
Central Idea: Exploring evidence helps our understanding of people’s histories.
Many thanks to the parents who sent in photos which enabled their children to make a timeline.
Next week the children will be reflecting upon their learning at school. They will be setting themselves goals that they would like to work on. These will be shared with you at your child’s student-led conference.
UOI Home Learning All of our units are based around real-life practical experiences and this current unit of inquiry will focus on the children finding out about their own and other people’s histories. We will be asking the children to carry out some home learning in the next few weeks and they will require your help with these tasks.
Today your child will have bought home some questions to ask you. Please spend some time talking with your child about their wonderings. There is space on the page for you to record your answers.
We would like all question responses to be sent into school by Wednesday 6th March 2019
Thank you in advance for your support.
Unit 2 report comments. Last Friday 22nd February the Year one report comments were uploaded to the Beacon. Please take the opportunity to talk to your children about their learning using the reports.
Here is a message from the Maths team.
Next week is Maths Week at BHS. During the week there will be treasure hunts and lunchtime activities happening which all students are invited to take part in during break and lunch times. In addition to this, students can enter our Figure Me Out competition. All those wishing to take part in the competition can come and collect a template from outside 401 or alternatively they can design their own template. We have included an image of what this might look like below. Entries should be returned to school no later than Monday 11th March.
Mathletics: – There are now some more activities open. Please enjoy supporting your child with these tasks. If your child is not yet logging onto Mathletics independently please support them to do so.
Please help the children to complete the Mathletics tasks that have been assigned to your child. The children can also enjoy Maths Live and play other children live across the world.
Readers Workshop
Next week the children will continue to explore questions through their reading. The children will use the question words, who, what, when, where, why and how to formulate questions before, during and after reading.

Action with learning
Here are a few examples of children who have taken action in their learning. Well done!
Sophie made a sign encouraging children to be brave when they have their immunisation. Kaitlyn and Serena asked their parents questions about when they were children and wrote down their answers.
