Year 1 - Summer 1 - Week 5

Date: 15th May 2024 @ 2:22pm

We have had another great week in Year 1! Well done on all of your hard work everyone! 

 
We began this week by focusing on Fractions, we have been working on finding a half and a quarter of shapes and objects. We started by using various sized and coloured shapes to explore making half, we had a brilliant understanding of how 2 halves make a whole. We then developed our learning by recognising and finding a quarter of various shapes and objects. We started by folding and cutting shapes into 4 equal parts, then put our learning into practice by independently working on questions. 

 
In RE this week we explored how other World Faiths celebrate Baptism. We discussed what we already know about Baptism and how Christians celebrate Baptism. We learned about how Muslims celebrate Baptism, and considered the similarities and differences of how the two world faiths celebrate the special day. 
 

We enjoyed a very calm yoga session on Wednesday as we developed our skills in PE, we have thoroughly enjoyed learning all about yoga and how it helps both our mind and body. As a part of our Net and Wall game topic in PE we extended our skills by using a tennis racket to practice new tricks. We played a game of floor tennis to develop our sending and receiving skills. 
 

Our highlight of the week was our Computing day! We love getting onto the iPads and trying out lots of new skills. We find this day very exciting! This week explored mini beasts linking with our Science topic on plants, we went on a hunt to find any hidden mini beasts on our school grounds. 

 
Well done on another fantastic week Year 1!
