Year 1 Class Blog - A Busy Week of Learning!
Welcome to our Year 1 Class Blog! This week, we've been having so much fun learning and exploring new topics. Here's a quick look at all the exciting things we've done!
English - The King's New Pants
This week in English, we read the funny and fantastic book The King's Pants. In the story, the King keeps losing his pants, and the people in the kingdom try to make him a new pair.
Here is a link to a video of the book if you would like to enjoy it at home.
THE KING'S PANTS 👑 Nicholas Allan | Read aloud #storyoftheweek #kingcharlesbooks
Inspired by this, we had a creative challenge! Each of us designed our own special pair of pants for the King. Some of us made pants with pockets for his treasures, while others added sparkles and even rainbow colors!
We then wrote letters to the King to tell him all about our amazing new pants design.
Maths - Fractions Fun!
In maths this week, we’ve been learning all about fractions! We looked at how to find half of shapes and amounts.
We also practiced drawing shapes and cutting them into halves to make sure we understood how fractions work.
Science - Exploring Amphibians
This week in science, we learned all about amphibians! We explored creatures like frogs, newts, and salamanders. We discovered that amphibians can live both in water and on land, which makes them really special!
We looked at pictures of different amphibians and talked about their life cycles, from eggs to tadpoles to adults. Some of us even tried to draw our favorite amphibians.
Geography - Physical Landmarks in the UK
In our geography lessons, we’ve been learning about the four countries of the UK and some of their famous physical landmarks. We explored the Loch Ness in Scotland, the River Thames in England, Snowdonia in Wales, and the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.
We loved looking at pictures of these places and talked about what makes them so special. Did you know the Giant's Causeway is made of thousands of amazing hexagonal rocks that look like they were placed by giants? It was so interesting to learn about these beautiful natural landmarks!
Thank you to all the parents who came to Parent's Evening and enjoyed looking at the childrens fantastic learning!
