This week in Year 1, we started a new book called The Rescue Party which features Percy the park keeper. After finishing the story, we discussed as a group what we could see in a park. Then, we learnt a new skill: labelling!
The children used post it notes to write their labels and stick them onto their own park pictures. We made sure to use our phonic mats to help sound out any unfamiliar words.
The next day, the children used their labels to help them write sentences. Each sentence began with 'I can see...'. They were very careful to remember their Kung Fu punctuation: capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. We also introduced adjectives in Year 1 this week and the children all did a great job in using them to describe what they could see. What a wonderful week full of lots of learning!
