What a wonderful week it has been in Year 1!

On Monday, we enjoyed a brilliant walk to the Church to watch the fabulous Year 3 lead a special Harvest service - the children were fantastic listeners and represented our class beautifully.

In English, we have been focusing on improving our handwriting, practising careful letter formation as we begin to write sentences describing how Perfectly Norman’s feelings change throughout the story.

In Maths, we have been perfecting our number bond skills to 10, using Numicon to explore how different pairs of numbers fit together to make ten.

In Science, we’ve been learning all about the four seasons, discussing how the weather and environment change throughout the year.

Our PE lessons have been full of energy this week! Indoors, we’ve been developing our gymnastics skills and have started to link our moves into short sequences. Outdoors, we’ve been practising our underarm throws, using our straight, non-throwing arm to aim and throw beanbags accurately into target hoops.

In RE, we explored the story of Jonah and the Whale. The children loved making origami whales to help retell and act out the story.

Finally, in PSHE, we discussed what makes a good teammate. The children showed brilliant cooperation as they worked together in groups to build the tallest free-standing towers using multilink cubes.

Well done, Year 1 - a week full of hard work, teamwork, and creativity!
