It’s been a wonderful first week back and a very exciting start to our final half term in Year 1!
On Wednesday, we had a fabulous day celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and it was wonderful to be able to celebrate together as a whole school. Our playground was a magical sea of red, white and blue and the children thoroughly enjoyed being together. Our amazing kitchen team prepared fantastic jubilee lunches, the sun was shining and we were able to enjoy a special picnic together outside. In the classroom, we did lots of activities to mark this very special occasion.
What have we been learning this week?
In Maths, we have been exploring numbers from 20 to 100. We have been deepening our understanding of those numbers, the relationships between them and how they are made. When counting, we have begun by grouping the amounts into 10’s and counting on.
In English, we have begun our new unit, ‘How to train a train’. This week we have been discussing different animals and pets and the children have worked in teams to research and write about their findings.
Hip-Hip-Hooray!
