Looking back:
What a fantastic half term we have had!
In Maths, we have made groups through sharing and consolidated our learning through a quiz.
In Science we have used a pictogram to show data of birds spotted and consolidated our learning through a quiz.
In Art we have constructed our Kandinsky inspired tree artwork.
We enjoyed another half termly marble jar treat this afternoon to celebrate all of our hard work!
Year 1 – Pupils’ Highlights:

Family discussion questions:
- What human and physical features can you see when you go on a walk or as you are in the car?
- Can you correct my spellings? ‘woz’, ‘spake’ and ‘flieing’
- If there are 20 sweets shared by 2 children, how many will each child have? How can you work this out?
Looking forward:
After half term, in English, we will write our Portal Narrative story.
In Maths, we will learn about fractions of shapes and amounts (half and quarter) before moving onto Place Value up to 100
In Science, we will be exploring our topic related to ‘holiday’ linked to seashore animals, weather and pollution.
