Just when we thought it couldn’t get any busier…it did!

Year 1 have been having a blast this last term, including lots of different activities such as Sports Day, our first piece of geography field work and a visit from HSBC! Please take a look at our photos.

In maths we have been learning all about telling the time to o’clock and half past, including drawing the hands on the clock. We also learnt which coins are which, what they look like and have begun to count them. We are practicing our 2, 5 and 10 times tables and getting really awesome at it – some of us might have even brought a certificate home related to this!

In writing time, we have written a letter to Mr Walton, a letter to Year 2, learnt how to add suffixes onto words and completed a unit all based on Zog. We wrote a school report for Zog, described him and even planned a lesson for Zog and his friends. 

Sports Day was super fun and we loved our adults watching us take part in games. We met the HSBC ladies who challenged us to a money quiz and also got to take part in ” A seaside adventure” in Geography – it was like going on a trip without leaving school!

Last week, we had an AMAZING week in “Creativity Week” with the theme based on sustainability. We learnt all about reduce, reuse and recycle and what we can do to help sustain our Earth. We built musical instruments from recycled rubbish, created a turtle with paint and collaged a globe using a different range of materials. And to top off an amazing week, we had a ‘Beat Goes On’ workshop where we got to make our own tune and listen to brand new instruments we had never seen before.

We have had a fantastic last term in Year 1 and will look forward to some fun and games with the Year 1 adults before our summer break!
