  • Festive fun!

    Published 17/12/21

    We have had a lovely final week of term in Year 1. We enjoyed writing our instructions for how to make a Christmas potion using bossy verbs and adjectives.  We also tried to include some time words in our writing to make it more exciting.

    In maths, we practised writing our numbers in words to 10. We used some spell well activities to help us. We have also been counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We used a hundred square to count and noticed some patterns as we were counting.

    In science, we made our own snow and had lots of fun playing with it!

    Finally, we have been enjoying some Christmas activities such as designing our own Christmas jumpers and decorating Christmas decorations as well as seeing what our cheeky elf has been up to each day!

In science, we enjoyed going on a Winter walk and discussing seasonal changes. We thought about the changes we saw in winter including bare trees, frost and colder weather.

    We also felt very festive making our Christmas crowns ready for our singing and were very excited to perform for you all!
