Year 1: What We Are Learning 

“Being unkind makes people sad and angry!” said Mia. 

This week in PSHE, the children explored the difference between bullying and being unkind. They discussed what each looks like, how it can make people feel, and why it is important to treat others with respect. Through thoughtful conversations, the children learned strategies for responding to unkind behaviour and how to support their friends. This lesson helped them understand the importance of kindness, empathy and speaking up when they see bullying. 

Year 1 have been recapping number bonds to 10 using numicon pictures to support them. Children recalled tens and ones within two digit numbers and showed understanding that number bonds to 20 involves two tens, one ten usually being incomplete. The children then used their knowledge of number bonds to 10 to complete their number bonds to 20.

This week in PE,  pupils enjoyed a yoga session focused on balance. We talked about how balance is an important life skill that helps us in everyday activities such as standing, sitting, climbing stairs and jumping safely. The children explored a series of fun balancing poses (inspired by circus yoga!), practising each pose while taking slow, calm breaths. They were encouraged to hold each balance for three breaths, with extra challenges like holding for longer or closing their eyes to really test their focus and control. The poses helped children develop strength, coordination, flexibility and body awareness. 

Well done Year 1 for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!
