Well done on a lovely half term year 1.
In maths this half term we have focussed on fractions and position and direction. 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 position and direction we have enjoyed using the correct vocabulary to describe turns and played games to show our understanding of a full turn, half turn, quarter turn and three quarter turn.
In RE we have been learning about baptism. We had the chance to share and discuss all of our Baptism photographs which was a lovely exercise and allowed us to reflect back on the special day. We used the photographs to consider who was around us, what we wore, and the very special features of a Christening Day.
In Design and Technology we have been learning about the differences between fruit and vegetables. We completed a workshop on smoothie making where the children learnt about healthy eating and different food groups. They then got to taste test a smoothie and gave their verdict. The children had a great evaluation lesson where they designed their own packaging for a new smoothie. The children decided on the name 'Super Smoothie,' it was great to see their creativity shine through.
One of our highlights this half term was the computing day. We completed 6 activities working on using different apps to create shapes and collect data. The class had a brilliant day and were able to demonstrate their creativity, I know that they can't wait for their next computing day!
Please find attached the virtual classroom for activities to support your child.
