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 DT, we looked at the story of The Gingerbread Man and how he is chased by different characters. We then created our own sliders to show the characters chasing after The Gingerbread Man. We had to be careful with our scissors when we were cutting the slit for the lolly stick.
