  • Why do Christians celebrate Harvest?

    Published 07/10/22

    This week Year 1 have created some brilliant fact files about different dinosaurs.  They used their phonics to sound out words carefully and wrote some very interesting facts.

    We Maths we have been learning how to use a number line to find more than and less than given numbers.  The children were also able to use their knowledge of numbers to find missing numbers.
