🌟 Year 1 Weekly Blog 🌟
What a fantastic and busy week we have had in Year 1! The children have worked incredibly hard and should be very proud of everything they have achieved. ⭐👏
📖 English
This week in English, we have continued exploring the exciting story Vlad and the Great Fire of London. 🔥🏠
We have also been starting to think about graphic novels—what they look like and how stories can be told through pictures and words.
The children loved beginning their own graphic novels, drawing detailed pictures and adding:
- 💬 Speech bubbles
- ✏️ Captions
We were so impressed with their creativity and storytelling skills—watch this space for some budding authors and illustrators! 🎨📚
🔢 Maths
In maths, we have been learning about multiplication by grouping. ➕➕
The children have been working hard to group objects and understand how repeated addition links to multiplication.
Great effort from everyone as they start to build these important maths foundations! 💪
🔬 Science
In science, we have been learning about materials. 🧱🪵🧴
The children have been able to:
- Identify different materials
- Describe their properties (e.g. hard, soft, shiny, rough)
We then had lots of fun going on a materials hunt around the classroom, searching for objects made from different materials. 🔍
The children were very enthusiastic and observant—fantastic scientific thinking! 👩🔬👨🔬
🏰 History
In history, we have continued learning about the Great Fire of London. 🔥
The children are really enjoying this topic and have:
- Researched interesting facts
- Started creating a timeline of events
It’s wonderful to see their curiosity and excitement for learning about the past! 🕰️
