Well, we have almost made it. I cannot believe that we have just completed our final week together in Year 1.
As always, it shaped out to be a busy week, so much so that I didn’t get round to taking any photos!
This week we have been tying up loose ends such as end of unit assessments and completing our final piece of Year 1 writing as well as completing our final unit of time in maths.
The children have really impressed me with their knowledge of time. We have looked at o’clock times, half past times, thinking about using the ...
Once again, it has been a busy week in Year 1. In maths we have finished our unit on numbers to 100. The children have been using hundred squares to help them to answer questions as well as use place value grids to partition the numbers into tens and ones. We are now moving onto time which involves using the language before and after. The children have been looking at calendars identifying the months and days.

Perhaps your child might be able to tell you some of what they can remember? This week we have been focussing on going back to the basics ...
Although this week was a short week with having the Friday off school, Year 1 have still been working hard as usual.
In Literacy this week, we have finished our old book ‘Lift’. Our final activity was to create a page as if we were writing a book based on a comic as if it had come out of the book ‘Lift’. We enjoyed illustrating our pages and writing words in big bubbles. Year 1 were surprised that this activity did not involve too much writing but instead, they were working their imaginations over time with ideas. Why not find ...
Well, what a week we have had. Thank you to everyone who came to the Year 1 class assembly about weather. The children all said their lines so confidently. They really enjoyed performing to you. We hope you enjoyed it as much as they did. Thank you for all of you who came to support your children. I was really proud of each and every one of them.
One of the highlights this week was the sponsored bounce. We couldn’t have had a more beautiful day to complete this. The children loved bouncing, sliding, climbing and demonstrating their agility moving through ...
