Year 1 Learning Blog - 15.11.2024

 Year one have had another fantastic week back with lots of fun learning opportunities.

In Literacy this week the children were using adjectives to describe a character from our class story.



In Maths this week, the children were introduced to the part whole model.

The part whole model is a pictorial representation that shows the relationship between a whole and its parts.




In Geography this week, the children explored their place in the world. They enjoyed using Google Maps to navigate around London. The focus was on understanding the continent, country, and town they live in.








Beach class had a lot of fun at Forest School this week. They listened to the story ‘Stanley’s Stick’ which is about a little boy who uses his imagination to pretend his stick is lots of different things. All the children then found a stick. 

In groups we read the poem ‘This is not a stick’ and the children use their stick to act out all the different things. The stick was lots of different objects, such as a telescope and a fishing rod. 


They then thought of their own ideas. These included nail varnish, a boat and a microphone. 


Many of the children wanted to attach wool to their stick to make fishing rods and a few boys made a ‘zip line.’


The children had time to explore the natural world around them before having a biscuit and a drink.  We ended the session with a few games that help to develop their understanding and listening skills.
