A Busy Week in Year 1!

It has been another busy week in Year 1 this week!

We have been learning about The Great Fire of London in History this week. We’ve imagined we are bakers on Pudding Lane, civilians in London in 1666 trying to stop the fire and Samuel Pepys writing his diary.

Our bird feeders had set, so we went and placed them on the trees around Base Camp to feed the birds during the cold weather.

In Forest School, we created our own sculptures using natural materials inspired by Andy Goldsworthy.

In Computing, we worked collaboratively and practised programming commands to move a BeeBot around a map.

In Science, we sorted different items into groups based on the material that they were. We also used a range of adjectives to describe the properties of each material.

In Maths, we have been learning to count in our 2’s and our 10’s. Please ask your child to keep chanting these around the house, practice makes perfect!

In Literacy, we have been reading Paddington and using exciting vocabulary to retell the story of him at the palace. Here is another Paddington story you might like to listen to. 🐻 Paddington at the Circus | Paddington Bear Kids Book Read Aloud (youtube.com)
