Graphs

This week the children have been looking at sorting information and handling data.

We have spent the week sorting and learning about tally charts and making graphs.

Today the children had to use their learning to solve a problem - "What is the most common colour smartie in a tube".

They had to sort the smarties into colours then use their results to make a graph. Here are some pictures of the children carring out their investigations.

Any old bits and pieces

If you have any old food containers/boxes/packets please can you send them in Monday or Tuesday. We will be making models so as much as you can spare will be very much appreciated.
Thank you
Miss Mclay

1L's week

Measuring using a scale. Which bag is heavier?

Ginger bread men

Exploring artefacts from the past.

We have had a very busy last week of term. We have been looking at measure in Maths and have continued to look at stories with patterns. The children have done lots of fantastic writing and are now able to measure in centimetres. Why not have a try at measuring things around the home?

We also had an exciting Literacy lesson on Thursday. The children made Gingerbread men and I hope all parents were given a taste!

Have a lovely half term week 1L!

Snow week

I hope all the children enjoyed building snow men and having snow ball fights this week! It has all been very exciting.

This week we have been looking at Shapes and Patterns in Maths. Yesterday the children made their own 2D shapes and then had the challenge of describing their shape using words such as "straight" "Corner" "sides" and "Curved". Today they made repeating patterns using shapes and colours.

In literacy the children have been reading stories with patterns such as "The Ginger Bread Man " and "Chicken Licken". Yesterday we did role play to retell the story. Today the children were being story tellers. They were very brave and some were able to tell the story to every one!!

In art today, the children were thinking about light and dark. They used charcoal to draw a portrait of themselves thinking about shading. They were all brilliant artists. Well done 1L!

Here are some pictures of our week.

Excellence and Enjoyment time!

Every week the children try hard to earn marbles in their lessons. If they get 25 marbles they then earn Excellence and Enjoyment time. Here is our class playing during Excellence and Enjoyment time. They have really earned their reward for trying so hard all week!

We are trying hard with Mathematical investigations. In Maths on Thursday, the children had to make as many adding sums as they could using only four numbers.

This term we are learning about Portraits in art. The children have looked at many famous portraits by different artists including Vincent Van Gogh, Picasso and the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. The children then used mirrors to draw a self portrait of them selves.

Happy New Year

Welcome back to all the children in 1L. We have been working hard this week and started lots of new topics.
We will be looking at "Ourselves" in Science, History and in Art. Please can you send in a picture of your child when they were a baby. Thank you.
