KS1 Show

Dear Parents,

We are glad to hear that so many parents enjoyed our KS1 show 'Children of the world'. The children and staff have worked very hard to put on an exciting and memorable show for everyone to enjoy.

Please could we ask any parents to kindly forward any copies of photos or videos from the performance, so we may update our blogs and and share them with all the KS1 parents. We would greatly appreciate your contributions and so would the rest of the KS1 community.

Please e mail them to ks1@ascot.ac.th

Many thanks and Merry Christmas

This week in numeracy, we have been looking at counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s. Here in the pictures, the children are ordering teddies in the order of counting in 10s.

It is my pleasure to announce that Y1L were given the class of the week certificate for 'working hard to do our best singing during rehearsals for our Christmas show'.

This week in numeracy we have been going crazy about 2D shapes, trying all sorts of different activities such as sorting 2D shapes and making pictures using only 2D shapes.

Literacy

This week in literacy, we have been looking at rhyming words. It was tricky, but everybody managed to get it in the end!

Humanities

This week, we have finished our project building 3D houses. The children had a wonderful time and we now have some fantastic 3D houses on display!

Trip to Rama IX Park

This week, we had our very first trip in Year 1. We went to see all the plants and flowers in Rama IX park. The children had a wonderful, even in the hot sunshine!

Key stage 3 visit to Year 1

This week, as part of book week, some of the children from Key stage 3 came to visit our class. They were here to ask questions about what we like in stories. They are currently working hard on making books for Year 1, how exciting!

Art

This week in Art, we have begun construction of our 3D homes. Thank you very much to parents who donated boxes for this project!

Last week in Humanities, we were designing houses. This is part of a project where we design the house, then build it. Finally we will be decorating the houses. Many thanks to parents who have kindly brought to school any old boxes to help with this.

Numeracy

Last week in numeracy we were learning about measuring. The children were learning how to measure with theirs hands or with cubes. Later we discussed which method was the best.

Halloween day at Ascot

Last Wednesday, we had our Halloween fun day at school. Many children came dressed as spooky characters and we played games and had a class party!

Half term break

Dear parents & children of KS1,

I would like to wish you all a lovely and well deserved break, and I hope that you are looking forward to all the fun and exciting activities next half of term!

Charity bake sale

Today, as most of you already know, we had our charity bake sale to raise money for soi dogs. Here are a few photos of our time at the bake sale.

Numeracy

This week in Numeracy, we have been looking at money, and learning the different ways to make the same amounts. The children were very excited to be using real money to help with their learning.

Literacy

This week in literacy, we have been learning about instructions, which has tied in very nicely with the charity bake sale. This children read some instructions on how to make chocolate crispy cakes and had a wonderful time following the instructions in the correct order.

Bake Sale 19th October

Next Friday, we will be having a bake sale to raise money which will help a charity that supports soi dogs. More details will come next week but the children in KS1 are likely to try to do some of their own baking.

Big Write

This Friday, we did our very first 'Big write'. This is a new scheme to encourage children to write independently about a topic they have been learning. Year 1 have been writing about their Teddy bears, as they have featured in our week this week.

Numeracy

One of the things we have been learning about in Numeracy this week is 'estimation'. We would look at a group of objects or a photo of animals and estimate how many. When everyone has had a turn we would count and find out who had the closest estimate.
