Welcome to the Year 1 blog!

In English, we’ve been reading the delightful book Tell Me Your Dragon. The children loved imagining what their very own dragons might look like and using Drama to create them. We’ve worked on using descriptive words to bring our dragons to life, thinking about their colour, size, and special powers. The dragons we’ve created have been amazing! Some can fly through clouds, while others have shimmering scales or breath fire. It’s been fantastic to see how creative the children are with their ideas.

In Maths, we’ve been learning how to divide by 2, 5, and 10. The children have been practising using real-life examples, like sharing sweets between friends or dividing up counting objects into groups. We’ve used fun games and activities to help understand how dividing works. We have moved our learning on by representing the division in a pictorial way.

 All the children in Year 1 have taken part in British Science Week our  fun activities was making a wormery! We observed the worms at work and learned how they help keep the soil healthy. The children were amazed at how much the worms dig, and we can’t wait to see the changes in our wormery over time. The whole class loved being scientists for the week!

In History, we’ve been looking at how castles have changed over the years. The children have enjoyed exploring different types of castles, from the early wooden forts to the grand stone castles that we see today. We’ve learned about the features of a castle, such as the drawbridge, towers, and battlements, and how they were designed for defense.
