Year 1's Phonics Screening check will take place in the week commencing Monday 12th June.  Please visit Year 1's section of the website to find out everything you need to know.

Look what Ava brought to show us today.  We all took it in turns to have a close look and we were surprised by how furry it was!

This week Miss Clegg was so impressed with our handwriting that everyone got the Handwriting Blog Star award.  Well done to us! 

To help us with our number knowledge Year 1 have been working with the Dienes equipment.  We began our learning by exchanging ten ones for one ten.  We took it in turns to be responsible for exchanging the tens.  It was lots of fun.

To help consolidate our understanding of addition we have been using cubes to display each number on each side of our card before combining them to find the total.

Today Year 1 had lots of fun at the farm.  Look at some of the exciting things we did...

Look at all of our fantastic Easter bonnets!

We really like our RE scrapbook.  Look at us working hard to add our own ideas and pictures. 

Our seeds have started to turn into plants so we have transferred them into old wellies!  We will be putting these outside when the weather is a bit nicer.

If you have any old wellies please send them into Year 1 and we will turn them into planters too! 

To help us with our writing we are working hard to create our own versions of Mr. Punctuation.

Today we have been learning about Mass.  We had lots of fun with the scales whilst trying to make them balance.

Our ladybirds have now dried and we have been working on using them to show our number bonds to 10 and 20.  Next week we are going to have them on classroom wall, why don't you come and have a look!
