This week the Year 1 Children definitely have got into the Christmas spirit! We have been learning about measures in maths, with a focus on length and height. The children have used this knowledge to make beautiful paper Christmas trees with strips of paper going from longest to shortest, as you can see in the picture. We have also been practising our cutting skills by making paper snowflakes.

The children have shown us their understanding of adjectives and verbs in their writing this week by writing their own version of ‘We’re Going on a Monster Hunt’. They have impressed us with their imagination and wonderful sentence writing!

We have also been exploring the continent of Europe, with the children learning the names of different countries that are part of Europe and some interesting facts about them. Hopefully they can share some of the facts they have learned with you at home.
