Year 1 enjoyed a special ‘show and tell’ session as part of No Pens Day. Each pupil chose a small item to bring to school and tell their peers about it. 

Year 1 children have been busy exploring numbers from 0 to 5, odd and even numbers, and comparing using the less than, equal to and greater than expressions. We have used Rekenreks to help us partition numbers and find their bonds. We have been drawing part-whole models and bar models to show number bonds. 

Year 1 children really enjoy their daily phonics sessions when we learn new sounds, 'stretch and read', practise writing new spellings and short sentences. We try to add sound buttons too. 

Our Phonics sessions are linked to 'Shared Reading' when we read a book as a class, decoding the text and finding out about new vocabulary. We love phonics! 

Seahorse Class had fun creating their Leader in Me 7 Habits tree on the classroom door. We discussed the Habits and how we can use them to help us to learn and play at school.
