Class 1

This week we have completed maths activities linked to weight. We have compared objects using heavier and lighter using the balance scales. We have looked at the difference between grams and kilograms.

In English we have been looking at explanation texts. We have worked with partners to research information about London landmarks, such as Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. We have created information leaflets for visitors.

Our art lesson was lots of fun today, creating paper sculptures using different techniques of folding, rolling and twisting paper.

World Book Day! Amazing costumes and lots of fun! Thank you to everyone who joined us for “Rock up and Read”.

In RE this week we discussed our own emotions at various points in the Easter story. We showed compassion for Jesus.

Our maths this week has been all about length and height. We have completed lots of practical activities with standard and non-standard units.

Everyone has been enjoying our new role-play area. A London Tourist Information office!

Our English text is “Katie in London.” We have been busy creating missing posters about Katie and Jack. We used a range of adjectives to describe them.

It’s Girl Guide World Thinking Day today. Some of the girls wore their Rainbows uniforms and told us all about it!

In Geography today we identified countries and capital cities within the United Kingdom. The children used a contents page to locate the maps they needed within an atlas.

Year 1 have started a new maths topic to develop their place value skills. They have practiced counting to 50 and using base ten to partition numbers.

We completed our History topic “How have explorers changed the world?” by creating coats of arms to reflect the stories of each explorer. We also looked at how exploration has changed over time.
