🌟 Year 1 Weekly Blog 🌟
We have had another fantastic and busy week in Year 1, with lots of exciting learning across the curriculum!
📚 English
This week in English, we have been reading the story “No Dragons for Tea”. The story sparked some brilliant discussions about fire safety and how to stay safe in the event of a fire.
The children shared thoughtful ideas and worked hard to create mind maps showing important fire safety rules, such as:
- Phone 999
- Leave you things behind
- Do not hide
We were so impressed with their understanding and contributions during discussions!
🔢 Maths
In Maths, we have been learning all about money. The children explored different coins and practised making amounts using a variety of coins.
We worked in groups with practical activities, where the children:
- Identified the cost of different objects
- Thought carefully about which coins they could use to make that amount
They showed great teamwork and problem-solving skills!
🔬 Science
In Science, we have continued our topic on materials and their properties. The children have been learning to:
- Identify what everyday objects are made from
- Describe simple properties of materials
We enjoyed exploring and discussing the materials we see in our daily lives.
🏛️ History
In History, we have been learning about The Great Fire of London. This week, we focused on comparing London in 1666 to London today.
The children noticed lots of differences, such as:
- Materials used for buildings

- How people lived
They asked some fantastic questions and made great observations.
