It has been a busy week in Year 1 with lots of learning going on! In English, we read the story of 'That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown'. We looked at the character Stanley in closer detail using adjectives to describe him. We then put our ideas into sentences. As Stanley was Emily's favourite toy, we then looked at describing our own toys. 

In Maths, we have been looking at finding one more and one less than a number as well as counting back from different numbers within 10. We have looked at the vocabulary of more and less and checked that we understand what it means. 

In Computing, the children were all excited to have a go on the laptops. We looked at how we needed to use the mouse to move the cursor and had a go at clicking and moving the cakes to feed the bear each time. We discovered it was easier when we used two hands!

Welcome to Year 1. The children have settled in well and are getting used to the new classroom routines. It has been lovely getting to know them all! 

In English, we have been looking at labels and captions and how they are used. We labelled a toy box to show which toys were in it. We also wrote our own captions for different images of toys. We have been working hard to use our sounds to write our words. 

In Maths, we have been looking at counting on from different numbers up to 10. We have looked at how numbers can be written as words and how they can be represented in different ways. 

In Science, we began learning all about animals, including humans. We went outside and drew an outline around some different children. We then worked in our groups to label the different body parts that we could see.
