In Year 1 this half term, the children have continued working hard on improving their reading and handwriting, looking in more detail at numbers 0-10 by finding odd and even numbers, using positional language, beginning to add two numbers together and form a number sentence as well as beginning to measure using standard and none standard measure.

In Topic, the children have been exploring their senses. They have learnt about touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste. They learnt about where food comes from, designed and created their own fruit smoothies and then learnt about what different types of animals eat. The children have then learnt to sort animals by their diet and characteristics.

The children also learnt about why remembrance is important and created their own class wreaths and began to celebrate Christmas by creating their own snowman Christmas cards using their fine motor skills.
