Fraction Fun.

It was Iveson Maths Morning yesterday. Year 1 and 2 had lots of fun making fractions finders. They were able to find half of a given number and some children even found quarters as well!

Maths: Estimation Station

This morning Year 1 had so much fun measuring different objects round the room in centimetres. The children had to estimate how long the objects were first with a partner. 

We also discovered what sorts of jobs used measuring, the children found out that builders, roofers, architects, chefs and artists use all sorts of measuring tools.

Can you tell someone at home what was the longest object you found in the classroom?

World Book Day

Year 1 have had a fabulous day today. We have enjoyed all sorts of different activities relating to the book Tabby McTat by Julia Donaldson.

Year 1 started the day by attending the World Book Day assembly, we learnt about what kinds of jobs you can have relating to books.

In the afternoon, Year 1 continued their study of the Artist Georges Seurat and created pointlism paintings of Tabby McTat. 

Year 1 ended the day exploring our brand new library. We were able to read some of the books with our reading buddies.

We are super at measuring!

Year 1 have been very busy this morning. We have started our new Maths topic of Measurement.

We have been measuring and comparing different objects using cubes. We have been using the vocabulary of long, longer, longest, short, shorter and shortest to compare all the different objects.

Educational Visit - Skipton Castle

Year One had a fabulous time at Skipton Castle this week.

We learnt so much about the history of the castle and what kinds of people lived and worked inside.

All the children were so sensible and we all had lots of fun.

Can you remember a fact from Skipton Castle? If so, can you tell someone at home?
