Year 1 have had another fantastic few weeks of learning!

In Literacy, we have started looking at the beautiful story Grandad’s Island. The children have loved sharing their thoughts about the story and beginning to use exciting vocabulary in their own writing. We have been working hard on writing sentences with capital letters, finger spaces and full stops, while also thinking carefully about describing settings and emotions.

In Maths, we have started our new topic on multiplication and division. The children have been learning to count confidently in 2s, 5s and 10s through songs, games and practical activities. We have also begun to make equal groups and recognise patterns in numbers. Please continue practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s at home whenever possible.

In History, we have started learning about Explorers Who Changed the World. The children have been fascinated by finding out about famous explorers from the past and discussing how their discoveries helped shape our world today. We are looking forward to learning even more over the coming weeks.

We also enjoyed a wonderful reading afternoon in the sunshine with parents and carers. It was lovely to see the children sharing stories, reading together and celebrating their love of books outdoors. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon so special.

Thank you for your continued support. We are very proud of all the children and the enthusiasm they are showing in their learning every day!
