Year 1 Iveson Blog

Yesterday Year One were not stopped by the snow and made it to the Royal Armouries. All the children had an amazing time and they learnt lots about our new topic. They helped Sir George put his armour on and discovered that the dragon knocked down his castle. We even had a party with the knight at the end of the trip.

In Science this half term we have been learning about seasonal change and how the weather is different in each one. On Friday afternoon Year One created their own pointillism seasonal tree to link to our learning about the French Artist Georges Seurat.

Year One have begun our Place Value to 50 unit of work. This week the children have been finding out how many ‘tens’ and ‘ones’ are in a number. The children challenged one another and used practical resources.

Year One have been learning all about keeping safe online. They discussed what we use the internet for and came up with rules about how to keep ourselves safe. The children read a story about Smartie the Penguin and discussed how he could have kept himself safe on the internet.

Year One Finches have been loving reading their favourite books in our Polar Explorer themed book corner.  This week in Guided Reading we have been reading The Emperor’s Egg by Martin Jenkins. Our WOW Words this week are: trumpeting, trundles, miserable, slippery and snuggle. Ask your child what these words mean.
