What a year!

Well done to all of 1D for a fantastic year! You have been sensational!
Here's to a very happy summer!

We wish Avani and her family the very best of luck with their new life in Birmingham! You will be missed very much, Avani!!

The Summer Concert!

Well, what can I say!! The children have been working extremely hard over the past few weeks to put a wonderful performance together.
On the day, the 7 children in 1D, along with 1P, all pulled together to put on a super show. They did extremely well to cope with the last minute changes. Well done!

We will be watching a recording of the concert together in class next week.

'Eye' didn't know that!

Thank you to Adam for giving his time this afternoon, to share his wealth of 'eye' knowledge and experience with the children in a fun and interactive way. We all learnt more about the anatomy of the eye, how the eyes of animals vary in size and shape, how they react in different light situations, the different ways in which vision is tested and what cataracts are.  

The children enjoyed experimenting with the various models and pieces of equipment Adam uses.

Our last Yr1 forest school session

Today we built a fire to celebrate the end of a successful year of forest school. The children collected appropriate sticks to build a waffle and helped Mrs Shurety whittle sticks ready for the marshmallows. Result...yummy s'mores...sticky fingers...

Den building

Our term of den building in the forest came to end on Thursday. The groups have been working on their shelters for a good few weeks now and were very eager to show them off to one another.

10 more and less

This week the children have been learning to find 10 more and 10 less.

We started by using a 100 square to find the pattern - what happens when you add 10 or find 10 more?  (Looking at how the units stay the same and the tens side has one more ten)

22

52

62

72

82

92

The children set off on their own with a whiteboard and had a go by themselves.
i.e.

10 more than 25 is ____

10 more than 54 is _____

or

24 + 10 = ______

16 + 10 = _______

(We discussed how 10 more and + 10 are the same thing)


In the same way we explored 10 less and - 10.

10 more game
10 more game
