This week in the classroom....

We have had such a week of fun! Sports Day was such a great day for all of the children and they all representated Year 1 so fantastically, we joined in with all of the fun activities in the morning and scored some great points for our teams and then we all did so well running our races in the afternoon! Thank you so much for coming to support the children on this day it meant so much to them to see their grown ups watching.

We then had a visit from Key Strings and their performance was amazing and so captivating. We learnt so much about the string family of instruments and had such fun watching the performance. 

In maths this week we have been revising many different topics we have learnt of the year and used this learning to help us solve reasoning problems and come up with different stratagies to help us solve them in the more efficient way. 

In writing we finished writing our own lunchboxes for Mr Grinling and have began to sequence the story ready to retell the story in our own words. 

In Geography we have been learning the 7 continents and oceans of the world and have learnt a fantastic song to help us to remember them.

This week in the classroom….

In maths we have been counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s and using different coins to do our counting too. We have been identifying the values of the coins e.g. 2p, 5p and 10p and have been adding coins up to the value that an object is worth.

In writing we have been doing lots of practice sentences based on what Mr Grinling has had in his packed lunch. We then finished off the week by drawing our own packed lunches that we think Mr Grinling might like!

In Geography we have been exploring what a planet is and in particular looking at planet Earth and how we can see what our planet looks like from satellite picture but also from globes and maps.

In Science we have started to explore how we make sure we can test things fairly.
