This week in Year One we have been comparing and describing weight. We worked in groups to find the heaviest item in the classroom and the lightest item in the classroom. First we estimated then we used the scales to compare the weight.

Last thing yesterday was a theatrical experience for us in year 1, as we acted out the story of the Good Samaritan. It provided us with some talking points about how we should treat others as well as what we should think about others. We had some fantastic performances and everyone had a smile on their face.

We have had a wonderful British Values Day today talking about what it means to be British. We have been celebrating British music, learning the history of the Beatles and performing the their song yellow submarine. We have also been learning all about where they were from, our local city of Liverpool. Which is in time for our school trip to Liverpool next week. Now we know what to look out for.  Following this we went outside for golden time, sharing a picnic and some games with our year 5 buddies. The day ended on a high when all of our family and friends came  to see us perform our favourite British songs.

Today was the first Woodfield Mathlympics event. The day started with the whole school Master Multiplier event, which the children had been practising their times tables for. The master multipliers gallantly stepped up the mark to show off their impressive multiplication skills.  The Year one champion who showed a stunning display of her skills was Ines, who is seen here showing off her medal. During the rest of the day the children used their mathematical knowledge to overcome  tasks and challenges, scoring important points for their teams. The day ended on a high with the closing ceremony announcing the Tigers as the Mathlympic champions 2018.

Today Year 1  had a tennis taster session with Robin Park. We practised lots of different tennis skills such as using the racket to control a ball. We had lots of fun!

On Tuesday it was KS1 sports day. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Year 1 took part in all sorts of different races such as, sprint, egg and spoon, sack, skipping, obstacle, bean bag and relay. The wolves were the winning team but everyone showed fantastic sportsmanship throughout the day, well done KS1!!

This week Year 1 took part in the ‘Great Plastic Pick Up’. We went outside into the woodland area and on to the field to see if we could find any litter. We stayed safe by using our litter pickers to pick up any rubbish we found and we reported any sharp objects to an adult immediately. Year 1 did a great job and made our school grounds lovely and clean again, well done Year 1!

Today in class one we went outside for maths. We took part in some games called ‘problematic pairs’, ‘dastardly dienes’ and ‘shape show off’. We all had lots of fun!

Today we have been practising place value in our maths lesson. We used the ten frames and counters to make numbers and problem solve.

This week in Year 1 we are learning all about William Shakespeare. Today we found out lots of information about who William Shakespeare is and why he is famous. Year 1 made mind maps with their partners to show what they could remember about William Shakespeare.
