In maths we have been focusing our learning around the terminology 'more than' and 'less that'. The children have been using objects to represent their number sentences. The children have also been exploring numicon shapes and their value. Using their knowledge of numicon, the children have been learning how to effectively add two, one digit numbers togethers. 






















 
































In History this week we continued to focus our learning around Florence Nightingale. This week we looked at pictures of hospitals from the 1820's and hospitals in 2020. We discussed the characteristics of each. We recorded our finding on the working wall. The children spoke comparatively to discuss the similarities and differences. 
The children were then invited to use a variety of materials to create their own hospitals. Some groups had time to label their models.

Last Friday we enjoyed making some Christingles and then sharing a Christingle service with Reception class in a socially distanced manner. Year 2 led the service and shared with us what each part of the Christingle represents.  We had an absolutely super time carol singing. Thank you to everybody who came out to support us.  We also made and decorated our personalised tree decorations! We felt very creative with our designs. We spent some time writing Goodbye messages to Mrs Baker, Arthur and Emylia as well as Thank you messages to Bobby's Mum for helping us with the backdrop for our nativity and the lady and gentlemen who donated the straw to us.   I would like to take this opportunity with wish Emylia and Arthur the very best of luck at their new school. I hope you all have an enjoyable Christmas, but most importantly, a safe Christmas.

Geography/Science Day - We enjoyed learning about the seasons and weather changed. We made rain gauges to measure how much rain falls.  On Friday we enjoyed being Superhero's to celebrate Comic Relief/Red Nose Day. We decorated Superhero masks, made biscuits and learnt a Superhero song and dance.  To consolidate our learning, we went for a walk on Friday and followed a set of instructions. We discussed and implemented all the geographical terminology we have learnt over the last couple of months.

We have had such an enjoyable week in Year 1. We loved celebrating Captain Tom Moore day. We made bunting, medals and sandwiches in the morning. In the afternoon we went for a walk to help the children understand how far Captain Tom walked. We explained that Captain Tom would have had to walk the distance we walked, 3 times! We were delighted at the efforts the children went to when dressing up!   In Maths we have been learning how to measure length and height! We have been using a variety of pieces of equipment to help us! We began by measuring with concrete objects and then rulers. We also used metre sticks to measure longer/taller objects. Today we measured each other and ordered ourselves from shortest to tallest.  In Miss Blake's phonics group this week, the children have been recapping 'ee', 'ay' and 'igh'. In this activity the children had to sort the words into the correct piles dependant on the digraphs. They were then encouraged to write sentences
