Year 1 - Summer 2 - Week 1

Date: 7th Jun 2024 @ 8:23am

What a fantastic start to our final term! We have had the greatest week in Year 1, filled with so much fun!

In Maths this week we continued to work on Position and Direction. We recapped and reviewed our learning from before half term, focusing on turns and left and right. We thoroughly enjoyed doing the Cha Cha Slide to help embed the positional language!

Our favourite story from this week was ‘Come all you little persons’. We loved reading this enchanting story book, we especially loved the beautiful illustrations. We enjoyed learning about nature within this story, and gave it a positive class vote at the end of the day!

In Geography this week we began our new topic ‘At the farm’. We explored different types of farms such as Arable farms, Dairy farms and Livestock farms. We shared lots of experiences about farms we have been to and discussed our understanding of farms and what they are for. We learned all about the features of each farm.

We were lucky enough to put our learning into practice on our school trip to Windmill Farm! We had a brilliant day exploring the features of the farm. We fed the lambs, they were super strong! Farmer Paul then gave us a tour of all of the animals at the farm, our favourites were the alpacas and the goats. We loved the train ride across the farm, we spotted all kinds of animals along the way. One of our highlights were getting to hold the critters! We had to be very brave as we held snakes, spiders and lizards! We made lots of memories and discovered so much about life on the farm!
