Happy Friday, everyone! It’s been a busy week here in Year One. We have solving lots of problems involving halves and quarters of amounts. We have become experts at using bar models and part whole models and have been really developing our ability to justify why we’ve chosen a particular one.  Next week we are going to be exploring the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. If you have a chance over the weekend, help your child to spot there shapes in the environment around you.

In English we have brought to a close our topic on Dragons by writing a set of instructions to explain to a dragon trainer how to teach their dragon to fly. We’ve had great fun acting out an instruction text on ‘How to Train your Dragon to Breathe Fire’ and imitating it to create our own masterpieces. Ask your child to see if they can remember and perform this for you. Here is a copy of our Story Map to help you…

Next week will be Mrs Gray’s final week with us at St Peter’s so we will be writing some poems to present to her as a special goodbye from us all in Year One.

We wish you a fabulous weekend. Fingers crossed for some sunny spells!

Team One.
