Miss Kelsall had hidden three mystery numbers in a bag. Year 1 were given three clues to work out all the possible numbers that could be hidden in the bag. Year 1 worked in pairs to investigate. Super work Year 1!

Today Year 1 have been performing dinosaur poems. We got into groups and rehearsed, then we performed our poem to the class. Your performances were excellent Year 1, well done!

Today Year 1 were very lucky to have an extra PE session with Animalates. We practised different ways of travelling and travelling at different speeds. We really enjoyed all the different games, it was lots of fun!

Our new topic this half term is ‘Dinosaurs’. Today we we’re finding out the names of some dinosaurs. Miss Kelsall had printed some pictures and information about different dinosaurs but unfortunately the names of the dinosaurs had accidentally been cut off and mixed up. Year 1 had to match the pictures and information to the names of the dinosaurs.

This half term our computing topic is ‘let’s find out and film’. Today we investigated the best way to find out information about dinosaurs. Year 1 took turns using books or the internet to find facts about dinosaurs. We found out lots of exciting information about different types of dinosaurs and decided that both the internet and books were really helpful to find out information.

Year 1 discussed E-safety before using the internet. We talked about staying safe online and reporting to a trusted adult.

This week Year 1 are writing a recount all about their Christmas Day.  Today we split into pairs to talk what we did on Christmas Day. We started our sentences with time connectives such as ‘first’, ‘then’, ‘after that’ and ‘finally’. We also tried to use lots of adjectives in our recounts. I really enjoyed hearing all about your Christmas Days Year 1!

Well done to Reception and KS1 for a fantastic Christmas Production. We were so proud of how well you all performed and the singing was beautiful. Thank you all for working so hard and thank you to the parents for all your support!

Year One looked fabulous and festive in their Christmas jumpers today!

Today Year One received a letter from Santa. Santa’s sleigh bells have been stolen by a naughty elf! Year One became detectives, we had to solve maths clues left by the elf to find out which elf was the culprit. Excellent detective work Year One!

This term in our topic we have benn learning about homes. First we looked at homes in our local area, Wigan. After that we looked at how homes are different all around the world. We compared homes in hot and cold climates. Today we became designers, we used our knowledge of homes in different climates to design a house in a hot or cold climate. Then we presented our work to the class.
