What a fantastic few weeks it’s been in Year One! The children have had so much fun learning about lots of exciting new topics across all of their lessons. They’ve shown great enthusiasm, curiosity, and teamwork as they’ve explored, created, and discovered new things every day.
In English, we’ve been working hard on our writing. The children have been using their imaginations to describe where their stories are taking place, using adjectives to make their writing come alive!
In Maths, we’ve been busy counting forwards and backwards to 20 and even counting in 10s! The children have enjoyed using songs, games, and practical activities to help them understand number patterns and build confidence with their counting skills.
Our History lessons have taken us on a fascinating journey as we’ve explored toys past and present. The children loved comparing the toys they play with today to those from the past, discovering how materials and designs have changed over time.
In Science, we’ve been learning all about the seasons. We’ve talked about how the weather, plants, daylight, animals and humans change throughout the year and enjoyed observing the signs of autumn appearing all around us. It’s been a wonderful start to the year—full of laughter, learning, and lots of achievements. Well done,
Year One! We can’t wait to see what exciting adventures the next half term will bring.
