Today we took our maths learning outside onto the playground. We have been investigating the different places we see numbers like in books, on posters, in our writing, on cars… and have then thought about what numbers look like on a Hundreds Square. Year 1 have have great fun playing number finding games that have aided their recognition and understanding of 2-digit numbers. And we didn’t get too wet!

Where have you seen numbers today?

Year 1 were invited on an extraordinary trip this week! On Thursday we ventured into the Space Odyssey Dome where we travelled to the moon and back. The children loved the immersive experience of laying inside the dome with the stars above them, zooming through Space.

This term the children will be learning about Space: Astronauts and rockets, the Moon and what is in our Solar System. So far this week we have investigated what it might be like to be an astronaut in Space.

In the Space Dome, the children have learnt many facts that they are eager to share.

“The stars make pictures called constellations” – Thomas

“No lady has ever been on the moon” – Freya

After several weeks creating, developing and rehearsing, the KS 1 children performed and shared the three Christmas stories they had created, developed and rehearsed over the past two weeks.

All of the hard work and effort was well worth it as all three stories gave the audience exactly the thoughts and feelings the children wanted them to have.

The learning over the past few weeks all came together beautifully, from set design and creation, through to story mapping and learning to orate to make sure ‘the ear (at the back of the room) can hear’.

It was a wonderful event for everyone involved; children, adults in school and family and friends in the audience.

A big thank you to everyone who spared some pennies and pounds for the collection at the end which was used to buy the materials for the Christmas craft afternoon on Wednesday.

We hope you have an amazing Christmas.

In Year 1 we have been working hard on our Christmas performance of The Buffalo’s Child. The children have chosen one of there favourite winter themed stories and have adapted it to make it their own (bet you can’t guess which story!). The characters this year are: Buffalos, Buffalo’s children, pig lizards, blue birds, wolves, hamsters, big bad hamsters, the moon, Mr and Mrs Claus.

At the end of the performance, we hope you can join us to sing “We Wish you a Merry Christmas” to get us all into the festive spirit!

If you are having difficulty finding costumes, please let the Year 1 team know
