Welcome to Year 1!

We had a very busy half term and we can't wait for Christmas! We started off the festive cheer with a fabulous Christmas performance! The children learned 6 songs as well as learning how to sign the songs in makaton. The children put on a great show and they certainly looked very festive!

 

In literacy we are reading 'Rapunzel' by Bethan Woollvin. The children have written some fantastic instructions on 'How to catch a witch' as well as retelling the vehicle text.In maths we are looking at comparing quantities when looking at measurements as well as learning how to partition numbers using part-part whole models and bar models. 

Our current topic is 'Out of this World.' In history we are looking at the history of space travel and who has visited space. 

 

This week we visited the childhood museum in Sudbury where we will consolidated our learning on past and present toys. We ordered toys according to when they were made by looking at the materials they were made out of as well as looking at other clues on the toys such as if they were scratched or not. When we were in the museum we saw the oldest toy held there which was a ceramic ball made in the Egyptian times!
