If you came into Year 1 this week, you would have been in for a surprise!

We have had the most incredible week in school, full of giggles, smiles and a lot of fun.

In Maths, we began the week by recapping counting large groups of numbers by grouping them into groups of 5 and 10s. This helped us count large numbers quickly and efficiently. Later, we focused on adding missing numbers to a number line, looking carefully at what numbers we already had, the integer, before applying the missing numbers. Next week, we will continue to investigate this whilst also completing a series of mini assessments.

In Science, we investigated flowering plants. We started by looking at real plants, looking at the different parts and discussing their function. We then used labels to label the plants different parts. After, so not to waste them, we planted them in our new playground, they look beautiful.

In Art, we continued our topic on ‘Animal Art’ looking at the colours and patterns in African animals. We then recreated our very own animal print, based on one of these animals, before sticking its silhouette on top to compare the pattern.

On Thursday, the class was full of wonderful, bright costumes as we came together to celebrate World Book Day. It was a delight to see so many children taking part dressed in their favourite characters costumes which enabled the children to bring their favourite books alive. In the morning, we came across a damaged book surrounded by tape and some mysterious glittery footprints coming from the pages. We were told that a character had escaped and had been causing trouble around the school, it was our job to use the clues to find out which of the suspects, the teachers, was our missing character. It turned out to be… Mrs Molloy, the lion! After, we had our very own ‘Teddy Bears Picnic’, where we all got to munch on delicious cakes and biscuits and juice whilst reading our books to our teddy bears. It was a truly wonderful.
