Messy Maths!
Despite the chilly weather, we have enjoyed being outside, exploring Place Value.

We are using lots of practical apparatus like 10 frames and counters to help.

We are exploring 'sliders', using 'The Gingerbread man' as a starting point.
Writing
A writing target for Year One is to include finger spaces in our sentences. Using cheerios makes it more exciting and tasty!
Reading

We love it when one of our Year 6 friends comes to read.

We have enjoyed finding out about Queen Elizabeth II. One of our favourite activities was to make a simple Time line of her life. Starting with 'Then' and finishing with 'Now'.
We can sort photographs of Queen Elizabeth II into 'then' and 'now'.
Geography
We know in which countries of the United Kingdom Queen Elizabeth II has a residence.
We are making our weather predictions for Winter so that we can compare our data in Spring and Summer.
Christmas with the Aliens
We enjoyed an exciting time rehearsing our Christmas production during the last few weeks. Thank you to everyone who came to see us and helped make it such a fantastic success.
Post show celebrations!
The Tiger's Tea Party
Our English activities were completed in style!
The children wrote invitations to their favourite toy to come to our tea party. We enjoyed dressing up as animals too! A busy group of helpful grown- ups supported the children in making their fruit kebab and the afternoon was rounded off with exciting party games.
Fun filled days
