This week in Literacy we started a new poetry unit called ‘Purple is…’ where the children were focussing on nouns and adjectives to describe purple objects. The children brought in a variety of their own objects from home which were purple to help create a class poem. Here is the finished product:
In our Maths unit we have been looking at multiplication, especially the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. We have been looking at arrays and understanding how much they help us to work out the multiplication problem. For example, we have been talking about arranging objects in rows and ...
Year 1 have almost finished their Literacy unit all about ‘Bats’ which focuses on non-chronological report.
