Year 1 Learning
07 Mar 2016
What wonderful week of learning. We had a fabulous day to celebrate World Book Day. We were extremely impressed by the range of different costumes worn.
In Literacy we were writing our own stories based on ‘The Snail and the Whale’. The high level of vocabulary being used is extremely pleasing to see. We now need to work on editing our writing to ensure it makes sense. Many children changed the story to make it their own, with some scary and dangerous endings.
In Maths we have been looking at money. We have been using the correct coins to pay for items, adding different amounts and giving the correct change. The practical activities worked well to reinforce our learning. The children had fun using real coins.
In Science we looked at the best materials for absorbing water. The engaging and practical element has really ‘hooked’ the children. They have been engrossed during the Science investigations this term.
