Maths - Grouping and sorting

In Maths, the children used the objects to sort and group according to their own ideas. We had everything from size, colour and shape. They certainly had some excellent ideas!

Computing

After reading 'Clicker Cat' and the guidance of Super Spud, the children were able to discuss and sort scenarios that would be safe and not safe. Well done Year One.

English - The Three Little Pigs

Building on the work of Reception, the children were able to predict the story from the clues hidden in the box. They then went onto answer questions about the text and characters showing a secure understanding. Later in the week, the children were able to act it out! Great actions were seen and repeated phrases were heard.

Science

Big Question: How can I identify a variety of materials based on their properties? 

Which materials can be recycled? 

Year 1 started their Science learning by exploring a range of objects and identifying the materials they were made from. The children were able to use vocabulary such as `glass`, `wood`, `material,` `plastic` and `metal` and started to explore their properties. Throughout the year we shall also be making observations of the different seasons and weather.  

History - Exploring toys from the past

After hearing about Mrs Morris' granny and mummy, the children carefully and held the toys from the past. They were excited to see how they worked and what they were made from.

PSHE - Who cares for me?

In PSHE, the children were talking about and discussing who cared about them and kept them safe. They were very clear about who these were and made great representations. 

ART - Balloon Dog

The children have begun their sculpture work by exploring the oval shapes and sketching them. We practiced and rehearsed this before adding watercolour to it.

Outside Play - working together 

The children have certainly enjoyed the brighter weather and being able to demonstrate their great climbing and balancing skills on the trim trail. They have learnt how to take turns and show a caring attitude towards each together. 

English - Writing parts of the story

The children have been able to write their own story opening and middle to the story so far. Impressive work has been seen and the enthusiasm has been brilliant to see.
