Year 1

Date: 17th Jan 2025 @ 12:32pm

Welcome to our Year 1 class blog! We've had an exciting week - let us share with you some of the fun and learning we've been doing!

English - The Queen's Hat Adventure

In English, we've been reading a wonderful story called The Queen's Hat. It's all about the Queen's hat flying away and having an adventure all over the UK. Inspired by this story, we decided to write our own versions of the Queen’s Hat story!

In our alternative version, the Queen’s hat visits Oldham and goes on an amazing adventure! The children had a great time imagining where the hat would go and what it would see.

Maths - Adding Numbers and Solving Missing Number Problems

In Maths, we've been having fun with addition and learning all about number bonds to 20! We’ve been solving missing number problems, adding numbers together, and practicing how to find the total when we add two numbers. Some of us even solved tricky word problems and used our number skills to help us.

It’s amazing to see how much we’ve learned and how quick we’re getting with our number skills!

Afternoon Tea and Exploring Great Britain

As part of our exciting start to the topic of Great Britain, we had a special Afternoon Tea in class! We learned about the traditional British custom of afternoon tea, and everyone enjoyed a delicious treat of biscuits and juice. It was a fun way to start our topic, as we discussed the history of Great Britain, famous landmarks, and what makes it such a special place.

We’re looking forward to learning more about the UK in the coming weeks, including its culture, history, and the famous places we’d love to visit!

Science - Classifying Animals

In Science, we’ve been learning all about classifying animals. We had a fun lesson sorting animals into two main groups: wild animals and pets. We learned what makes an animal wild and how pets are different because they live with people

What a fantastic start to the term! We're excited to continue learning and can't wait to share more updates with you. Stay tuned for more adventures in Year 1!
