English

We have been learning through the story of 'There's a Tiger in the Garden'. We quickly realised that Nora was using her imagination whilst out in her Grandma's garden. We used different connectives to make our sentences more exciting and our own imaginations to think of new objects that Nora could come across.

Phonics

Some of us have been revising the soft c as in saucers the and the soft g in cage.

Some of us have been learning the different /er/ spellings - er in pepper, ir in third, or in work and ear in learn.

Maths

We have been learning how to add and subtract using part-whole models and 10 frames.

R.E.

We started our new Bible story about Jesus' Ascension. We talked about what Ascension means and drew a picture of Jesus rising up to heaven.

Geography

Some of us made some amazing fact files about a hot place in the world (The Sahara Desert). We used the iPads to find new information, we learnt a lot of new facts!

Forest School

We made shelters and pretended a storm was coming! Superb team-work and problem solving. We are also becoming more proficient when tying knots.

Sports Day

We are so proud of the whole class. Everyone worked brilliantly as a team and individually. Well done to Bede who won the Year 1 Sports Day!

A big thank you to everyone who watched, cheered and participated in the parent races.
