We have welcomed the children back to their last half term in Year 1! We have had a really exciting week. We have started lots of new topics. We will be focusing on English and history together this term and Year 1 had an exciting archaeological dig to find artefacts from the past. They have been guessing what these artefacts represent and what our next topic might be! All will be revealed next week. In maths, we have been learning about tally charts and graphs. The children have investigated the favourite animals in the class and built their own tally charts and graphs. It has genuinely been amazing to see how many animals have been represented and which ones were the favourites. In R.E. we have begun looking at the religion of Islam and thought about what more we would like to know about this religion. In art we have painted our diva lamps and practised our sketching skills. We have also done lots of reading and phonics this week, the children have amazed and delighted us! Go Year 1!
