In year 1 we refreshed our memories and mixed primary colours together to make secondary colours.

We had fun going around the school grounds finding different fruit that has grown and ripened over the holidays. We enjoyed eating apples from the tree, and tomatoes from the vines.
In science we have been learning about different types of animals. The children enjoyed making hedgehog houses, learning how bees find nectar, making seed bombs and bird spotting in the hide.
Year 1 have been measuring using informal units of measurement. They then used centimetres and metres to measure items in the classroom.
Children placed numbers on a number line to 50. They had to estimate where they thought the number would go. We talked about one more and one less than a given number and counted up and down the number line.
We enjoyed designing and making our own London taxis. The children learnt about axels and how to fit them to the ‘chassis’ of their vehicles. They then tested their taxis; making sure that their wheels were secured properly.
In year 1 we have been focusing our learning on verbs. This week we learnt about some irregular verb including ‘to have’ and ‘to sing’. We then learnt about regular verbs and how adding ‘ed’ turns the verb into the past tense. We played lots of games too!
We have been doing lots of practical maths in year 1. We have spent time putting missing numbers on a numberline, ordering numbers, doubling numbers and adding 10 more. We have found out that if we know our number bonds to 10 then this helps us know our number bonds to 20.
