Year 1 Learning Journey
New beginnings
We have had a wonderful start to Year 1. The children have settled in brilliantly and we are so excited to share their learning with you! Last week was spent settling into our new classrooms and getting to know year 1. We discussed our holiday news and shared many stories about what we've been getting up to! This week we've been busy getting to know the story of Hansel and Gretel. Today the children sequenced the story and discussed what the main events were.   |
Our Topic Learning...
Last week, we were engineers! Year 1 were set a challenge to try and build the tallest tower using their materials - spaghetti and marshmallows! Each group was given the same materials and they had to decide, as a group, how to build their tower. Some groups decided to design theirs first, thinking of what shapes would be the best to start with as a base so that the tower could stand up independently. Everyone was very resilient when things didn't work out well and they all worked brilliantly in their teams to come up with solutions. It was very tricky and very sticky!   |
Outdoor Learning
 This week the children were learning about the different plants we grow in the UK and the differences between wild plants and garden plants. They also learnt that grass is a plant and there are many different varieties, plus that although trees are big they are plants too. Around the playground the children had to find pictures of different plants, then in their group used their sorting rings to 'sort' them into wild and common garden plants.  |
Our Maths learning this week...
In our Maths learning this week we have been learning all about data collection. The children have been looking at the different ways we record data in our classroom and have been finding out data from our classmates and recording this data using tally charts! After the children collected their data they looked at different ways of displaying this data; the children used pictograms and block graphs to display their data…..and they even had a look at pie charts! We have been so impressed with how engaged the children have been with this topic!  |
Our Maths learning
Today in Maths we have been looking at different shapes and learning about repeating patters. The children had to identify a range of 2D shapes and create various repeating patterns using these shapes.  |
