Our Week - W/C 16th January 2023

Another great week in Reception/ Year One. The children have been loving the lovely snowy weather. This enabled us to take our Geography lesson outside this week in the snow. The children did field work outside in the Forest with compasses to look at different directions. The aim of the lesson was to recognise what a compass is and to remember the four directions on a compass, North, South, East and West! The children loved this practical lesson in the snow and were able to remember the directions with our acronym 'Never, Eat, Shredded Wheat'

In maths we have been comparing numbers to 20 in both classes looking at numbers within 20 that are greater then and more than each other. Year one have been looking at the symbols < and >. and Reception have been ordering numbers to 20.

English this week we have been looking at settings. We watched part of The Lion King and looked at the setting based in the opening of 'The Circle of Life' the children were able to talk about adjectives of the Jungle setting and Year One went on to writing sentences about the setting using the connective 'and' to connect two sentences.

A great week Lawley well done.
