This week in maths we are practising our number bonds within 10 and 20. We have been using ten frames to help us make numbers bonds to 10 and 20.

This morning we have been investigating the ‘oi’ sound. A group went into the outdoor area to find the ‘oi’ sound and build as many words as the can with this sound in. Here are some of the words they came up with;

boil, soil, foil, oil, coin, point

Super sound hunting Year 1!

This afternoon in maths Year 1 have been solving problems involving addition and subtraction. We had to rotate around different problem solving activities using our skills in addition and subtraction which we have been practising throughout the week.

This afternoon Year 1 went outside into the woodland area and playground on a materials hunt. Year 1 were looking for natural and man made materials. Which did you find more of, natural materials or man made materials?

This week in maths we are learning about addition and subtraction. Today we practised building our own number sentences. Children made their number sentence and used cubes or number lines to check their number sentences made sense.

This half term we are learning about materials. Year 1 were asked to build their own boat, the two materials available were plastic or paper. We made predictions about which material would make the best boat and why, after that each group made their own boat out of plastic or paper. Finally we tested the boats and decided that although the paper boats did float plastic was the best material as paper boats weren’t waterproof and wouldn’t last very long in the water. Great investigating Year 1!

This week in maths we are describing and comparing length and height. Year one were set different challenges. Here we are making a tower that is taller than the table. Well done everyone!

Year 1 crayons have gone missing! We found a note telling us they have quite. We talked about the reasons our crayons had quit and then we made banners using our sentences writing skills.
