Mysterious eggs!

 Hello Year One Families

What an interesting, exciting and slightly curious day we have had in Year One. The arrival of some mysterious eggs really got us talking this morning. We were surprised, shocked, a bit scared and excited! We went and had a good look at them and discussed what they looked like, what could be inside and where they had come from.

After this we went on a Now Press Play dinosaur adventure. The story involved us finding an egg with our palaeontologist Grandma. We went back to Dinosaur Land, meeting lots of different dinosaurs to find out who the egg belonged to. We absolutely loved it!

A great start to our #inspiredtolearn writing fortnight.

Wheeled Wonder - Exhibition of learning

Hello Year One families 

What a wonderful wheeled wonder event we had this afternoon! After spending the last few weeks investigating wheels and axles, the children put their skills to the test by creating lots of wheeled wonders. Thank you to all the adults that were able to come along and join in with the event. As you can see we all had a fantastic afternoon:

Year One News

Hello Year One families

We have had a very exciting and varied week in Year One.

In maths we are continuing to learn about numbers to 20. We found estimating and finding numbers on a number line quite tricky this week so we had an extra lesson to try and unpick this a bit more. We used a very long rope and some whiteboards to mark out different numbers on a very large number line. This helped the children to visually track where the numbers went. They talked to a partner about their estimates and used great maths language to explain where different numbers should go: like 1 more and 1 less. When the children went back to the classroom to have another go they had a much better understanding. Great maths work Year One!

In English we have been planning our own stories about a planet and its inhabitants. The children have thought of some great ideas about what is going to happen in their story. I can't wait to see what they write next week. We have been thinking about interesting adjectives and continue to work hard at sounding outa and remember full stops, capital letters and finger spaces when writing sentences..

In History the children have been learning about Katherine Johnson, a famous scientist and how she helped NASA with the space flights.

We have now designed some wonderful moon buggies in DT and can't wait to start building them in our Wheeled Wonder Event next Thursday. We hope to see you there!

Amongst all of this we got to enjoy the snow!

And to end the week we had visit from Dragon Works.

Another wonderful week in Year One.

The Year One Team.
