We explored patterns and fractions in our magic maths lesson then we moved onto capacity in our main maths lesson. We converted between ml and L when answering questions and used our knowledge of dividing and multiplying by 1000 to help us with this. There was lots of great collaboration throughout the lesson today, great work MI 🙂
It has been lovely today as we started our 3rd and final case study of our current expedition. Children were researching Edgar Degas who was a french impressionist known for his drawings of ballerinas.
As a crew we had the opportunity to recreate some of his work using skills we have learning previously. The children have done a super job considering they don’t particularly like art as they feel it is the subject they are least confident in. However, they did not let this deter them from putting 100% effort in. It was especially nice hearing them share in crew how they felt happy because they thought they’d be terrible but had actually done a really good job.
Our favourite time of the week in Y1, is our reading cafe when parents come in and read with us 🥰
In Crew Welburn, we have been looking at the story of Jack and the Beanstalk! The children have loved using the props to re-tell the story, and have used these alongside the book to draw a story map today. The children used their maps to re-tell the story using some of our new words. I was very impressed with the detail that they could remember! Below you can see some examples of work from Aubree, Penelope and Jasper who were all very proud of their achievements…🌟
The children really enjoyed doing dance today and learning a routine.
Today we finished our History case study by learning about the Suffragettes. We ordered a timeline of important events and had some great discussions. Lovely to see the children asking questions to either clarify something or move their learning forward.
Today we started to unpick and explore newspaper articles. We discussed the purpose of newspaper articles, reliability and what we find in them. After we had a secure understanding of the features, we worked in mini crews to read a selection of articles around the room. We found the different features then reported back our findings to the whole crew. From here we watched a clip called ’Roads End.’ This is the stimulus we will use for our own newspaper report. We found the clip very intriguing and it allowed us to discuss lots of different ideas. We then unpicked a model text before thinking specifically about headlines. We finished our lessons today by creating our own! There was some great use of alliteration 🙂

Last Friday, we started the first of many reading celebrations to come! Lots of children across school were awarded for reading at home. Teachers have been keeping a log of how many children have been reading each week and we really wanted to praise those children (and grown ups!) who have really made the effort to read at home every night! We also celebrated the Crew who have been reading the most at home and last week’s winners (for Week 1) was Crew MI! Well done to all of the fabulous readers! Keep up the great work! I wonder who our Reading Champions will be next week? Could it be you?!
