  • What was your favourite part about the SeaLife Centre?

    Published 20/01/23

    Year 1 have had a brilliant week and have all enjoyed their trip to the SeaLife Centre.  The children were all well-behaved and excited to go.  They loved seeing all the different sea creatures and touching the starfish.

    In English, we have been writing setting descriptions to describe the beach in 'Clean Up'.  We discussed what we need to do to keep our environment clean.  We then wrote so great recounts about our trip to London.

    In Maths, we have been finding one more and one less of numbers to 20.  We have been using number lines to order numbers to 20.

    In Geography, we have been learning about the five oceans and in Science we have been looking at the properties of different materials.

  • What is an algorithm?

    Published 13/01/23

    This week in English we have been learning that conjunctions are joining words that can link two sentences together, or extend a sentence.  We have been focussing on how to use the conjunction 'and' both verbally and in our writing.

    In Maths we have been looking at the numbers 14 to 20.  We have been learning to identify and represent these numbers in different ways.

    In Computing we have been learning about algorithms and how they are used.  We recapped what we learnt in Autumn 1 about beebots and programming them and then applied our learning to using Scratch Jnr on the iPads.  The children used action commands to program their sprite to move.  They then explored how to change their sprites and edit the background.

    In Science we investigated different materials and in DT we designed puppets that we will be making this half term.  In Geography we learnt about the seas that surround the UK .

  • How can we find rhyming words?

    Published 06/01/23

    This week in English we have been looking at the book 'Commotion in the Ocean' and reading poetry.  We have been learning how to recognise and find rhyming words by looking at the end sounds.  We then worked to create our own poems using rhyming words.  On Friday we then practised reading different poems and added our own actions before performing them to the class.

    In Maths we have been looking at writing teen numbers using ten frames to help us.  We have been practising counting up to 14 and forming the numbers correctly and ensuring that the numbers are the right way round.

    In DT we have been learning how to join materials using different methods, such as glueing, stapling and pinning,  The children will then be using these skills later to create their own puppets.
