    Published 30/09/22

    This week the children have been superstars, completing their very first star write! We are very proud of their perseverance with their writing and using their phonics to help them with this.

    In Maths we have been learning about ordinal numbers, and used 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th to describe positions.

    In Science, we learned about some animals’ diets, and used the scientific vocabulary of carnivore, herbivore and omnivore to describe their diets. 

    In Computing the children enjoyed exploring using the BeeBots and are beginning to understand that instructions can be inputted into them for the BeeBots to carry out.

    What is RRS?

    The children have all settled really well into Year 1 and have had a great start to the year.  We have been learning our school rules: RRS - Ready, Respectful and Safe.  We have then used this to create our own class rules.

    In Maths we have recapped sorting objects and counting numbers to 10.
