Math
In Math this half term we are learning about Place Value to 10. We have then begun looking at part-whole models and creating these in the classroom.
We have learnt how to write and recognise numbers to 10 in numerals and words. We have then looked at comparing and ordering numbers learning the inequality signs < > and =.
If you'd like to have a go at home to keep your maths knowledge spinning have a go on these:
Counting and ordering - Year 1 Maths - BBC Bitesize
Science
This half term in science we are exploring Everyday Materials.
We have learnt about different properties of materials and investigated what materials we should use when building a robot.
Wider curriculum
Year 1 have had lots of experiences this half term from gardening to use the scrap sheds to create masterpieces! We also had a music workshop come to visit us.
PE - Autumn 1 Dance
In PE are we learning the skills to create a story through dance.
We have looked at how to isolate our body movements to move as a robot. We have then been linking movements before creating our own dance routines in groups.
Our dances have followed a robot characters journey from space.
DT
In Art enrichment the children are learning about the designer Ole Kirk Kristiansen and creating Lego designs inspired by him.
History - Changes through time
In History we have looked at changes in the children's living memory and extended this to look at changes since our grandparents were young.
We have looked at how toys have changed in time, from wooden toys to the invention to plastic and electric games.
We have looked at Jim Henson, the creator of The Muppets, and designed our own mupper.
Reading
In Year 1 we enjoy reading and exploring new books. We have reading sessions three times a week on top of exploring our reading areas and new texts during story time.
