Year 1 focused on learning about India. We looked at the location, weather and food. We looked in more detail about the clothing they wear and how it is different to what people wear in the United Kingdom.

We gathered some thoughts from the children-

”Their clothes are very pretty and colourful.”

”They wear long clothes in India but we wear shorts in summer.”

”They have their arms out but their legs are covered.”

The children enjoyed their music lesson with the ukuleles.

The children have also enjoyed learning about how to use the Scratch programme on the iPads.

In maths the children have been counting in 5’s. They counted bears in groups of 5.

This week the children have been finding the weight of two objects. They have used blocks to find the weight. The children have also found the difference between the weight of two objects.
They have also learnt off by heart a poem and put actions to it. They then performed it to Year 2.

The children enjoyed wearing red, white and blue today and having a picnic on the field to celebrate. We had a one minutes silence to mark the celebration. They also enjoyed dancing and singing from SD Studios and the school choir. Proud of some of our year one children who took part.

The children enjoyed exploring with the money this week. They used the money to count out amounts to buy things from our pretend shop.

In PE we have been practising our ball skills.

In maths the children have been exploring coins. They have been sorting them into different groups as well as adding coins to make different amounts.

We had a lovely afternoon being creative making Easter cards.

We had a wonderful day exploring activities linked with familiar stories. We also designed and then made our hand puppets using felt and then we either stitched or glued it together.

The children had a wonderful day exploring the animals at the farm as part of our Science unit. They fed animals, petted them and even collected eggs from the chickens.

In maths we have focused on counting in twos and making arrays practically.

In science the children sorted animals into categories- herbivores and carnivores.

In maths we have been focusing on telling the time to o’clock and half past the hour. We have also looked at 2D shapes, naming them and looking at their properties. We then looked at finding half and quarters of some shapes.

In computing we enjoyed exploring directional language using the robots. Children worked together to decide on where they wanted their robot to travel and then directed it.
