Year 1 – Learning about keys on a map

In our learning about our local area, Class 1 have been looking at maps and saw that maps often use colours rather than pictures of buildings and other features. We learnt that these colours are recorded in a key so that everybody could understand what it means. We then made a key for a map of the school.

Year 1 – Interviewing Goldilocks

Class 1 had a letter delivered addressed to ‘Inspector Big Boots’. When we opened the letter, we found that it was a letter from Goldilocks apologising for all the things that she had done wrong at the Three Bears’ house.

We pretended to be police officers and we wrote a list of questions that we would like to ask Goldilocks. We then interviewed Mrs Batkin (pretending to be Goldilocks!) before writing our own questions.

Ball skills – dribbling

Until half term we are focusing on ball skills in our PE lessons. This week we learnt skills of dribbling and how to control the ball when we are doing this. We enjoyed a game of seals and penguins which helped us practise this skill at the end of the lesson!

Maths in Year 1

We have been comparing numbers using < > and =.

Then we have been using part whole models. First we were given the whole and had to split that amount into two parts. Then we were given two parts and had to find the whole.

Year 1 – Baby Bear needs a new chair!

As Goldilocks has broken Baby Bear’s chair, Class 1 have been tasked with designing and making him a new chair.

First we went on a chair hunt to find out what makes a chair a chair. These are some of the chairs that we found in school:

Then we used construction resources to try to build structures that were strong and stable.

Then we designed a chair for Baby Bear thinking about what kind of design Baby Bear might like.

Next we will investigate joining materials before we make our chairs!

A crime scene in Class 1

When Class 1 returned from completing their morning run, they found a number of mysterious objects in the classroom.

They found:

  • Three bowls of porridge – one big, one medium, one small
  • Three chairs and one was broken!
  • A baby-sized bed
  • A curl of blonde hair
  • A yellow dress
  • A doll

The evidence was collected and the police were informed but the question remained – who could have caused this mess?!
