In computing this afternoon year 1 have been looking at grouping data and how they can answer questions about information. We then finished with our gold task and discussed as a whole class what we have learnt about grouping data throughout the unit.

In PE on Friday, year 1 focused on striking the ball using the correct technique and stance. The children underarm bowled the ball to their partner using their sticky knowledge from the ball skills unit.

For this week’s worship challenge as a whole school our big question was ‘how can we show resilience in the face of adversity’. As part of character education day a few weeks back year 1 focused on strength in-line with our school ethos and values. To move on from this year 1 were challenged with the task of self reflection and recognising times they have been resilient and how they can be resilient moving forward.

This morning in maths year 1 have been measuring classroom objects using a non standard unit, cubes. The children explored the sentence of ‘the mass of the object is __ cubes’. Great job!

In computing this afternoon year 1 have been focusing on grouping data. The children grouped shapes by their different properties and then used key vocabulary to compare different groups.

In Maths today year 1 started a new topic, mass and volume. To explore vocabulary the children experimented and predicted which classroom objects would weigh heavier and lighter using balancing scales.

On Friday in RSHE as part of digital literacy Year 1 looked at when to ask permission to do something online. They used making good choices cards to decide if you need to ask permission to do something specific and what might happen if you don’t ask permission.

In PE on Friday, Year 1 worked on balancing and controlling a ball on a racquet to build up their striking skills. The children were very focused which helped them to remain steady and maintain control of the ball, great job year 1!
