Year 1 blog

This week, Year 1 have been learning about The Great Fire of London! We have enjoyed reading the story Vlad and The Great Fire of London, written by Kate Cunningham.We were particularly excited to hear that Samuel Pepys buried some very smelly cheese to save it from the fire! We have created graphic novels around this text, drawing our own pictures and writing speech bubbles. We then took our learning into provision where we created graphic novels of our own interests.

In Science, the children have been investigating materials and have enjoyed being "material detectives", discovering different materials around school.

In Maths we have been comparing numbers using greater than and less than symbols. We particularly loved our practical lesson, making number blocks and comparing two numbers. 

This has been a short week but we've had a lot of fun and are ready to celebrate Eid!
