In Maths this half term we are looking at Place Value to 50.
Children worked in pairs to use tens and ones to make some numbers between 20 and 50. They demonstrated good team work and communication skills and thoroughly enjoyed this practical lesson.
After the lesson had finished they were set a challenge to make a number for Miss Peacock and I to guess. They did not make this easy for us!
In PE this half term we are working with Miss Lilly on our multiskills. This week in PE we revisited some of the skills we learnt in Reception. We built on these skills by using larger balls and by working with more than one person to throw and catch.
To celebrate World Book Day this year, children across school started their day with a story. They then participated in lots of activities throughout the day linked to favourite stories. We spent the afternoon buddied up with Year 5 pupils who read us lots of stories.
To celebrate British Science Week children in Year 1 started the week by joining in with a live lesson linked to materials. They created 'fabric sandwiches' to test whether changing the material inside the 'sandwich' would hold water better. Our conclusions found that creating a fabric sandwich out of PVA glue held the water and dripped through slower than using cooking oil.
Throughout the week children participated in various experiments which involved changing and adapting. The Music Maker experiment was a particular highlight. We concluded that changing how much water was in each glass, created a different sound when the side of the glass was tapped with an object.
