We have had very busy and successful start to Year 1. Reading Paddington stories was a particular highlight. Inspired by these stories, we decided to make marmalade sandwiches and practice writing instructions. We invited our parents in to do this with us. In Maths we have been consolidating and building fluency with numbers to 10 and 20. Science has involved lots of practical learning as we’ve explored materials and their properties. In Geography we’ve learnt about London and Madagascar. Reading record and colour-banded reading book in their book bag.

Reading – children are expected to read at least 3 times a week with a parent or carer.
We are learning about the properties of circles and triangles. We used our 2D flat shapes to create pictures with our partners!
