Our Class Learning Journey 

Autumn Term

Week 8

We've been carrying on looking at amounts, ordering them from greatest to smallest and comparing by using our maths symbols. 

We have also been thinking about October as the month of the rosary. We made our own decade to bring home, so we can pray with our Lady whenever we want.

Week 7

We have been ordering and retelling the Creation story. We also used the symbols > and < and = to compare amounts of items in our maths.

Week 6

This week we have been telling the parable of the lost sheep. We had lots of fun in PE and for our outdoor learning we were familiarising ourselves with the orienteering resources.

Week Four 23rd - 27th September

In our maths work we continued ordering and sequencing numbers, as well as thinking about 1 more and 1 less.

We had our Careers Day, where we had a selection of parents come in to talk to PS2 about their jobs, including a child psychologist, an animator, a microbiologist and a mental health nurse.

We've also enjoyed taking our Class Worship to the chapel.

Week 3 - 16th - 20th September

Our maths focus this week has been counting forwards and backwards, and thinking about the numbers that come before and after a given number.

Week 2 9th - 13th September

Walk around Treforest to investigate what jobs people do. 

The highlight of our week was definitely our walk around Treforest to find out what businesses there are and what jobs were being done.

We have also started to learn British Sign Language with Katherine and Lindsay. This week we've learnt our colours and how to say "I like" and "I don't like.."

Week beginning 2nd September

We've had a lovely first week in Year One. We are getting used to our new classroom and we've started settling into our routines. We've enjoyed reading "All Are Welcome" by Alexandra Penfold, we've found out different ways to say welcome in our home languages. We've also been thinking about our emotions, we talked about how we felt about coming back to school using the Colour Monster to help us. Everyone should have brought home their Seesaw codes, please let us know if your child has not got theirs.

Transition Days

We had a great time visiting our new classroom. We explored the resources and tried out the different areas. We also thought about what we would like the new classroom to be like and what we would like to find out about in our new topic.
