Year 1

Multiplication Magicians!

This week, Year 1 have been using their excellent Maths skills to learn all about multiplication! We found out that when we multiply, all our groups need to be equal. We used a range of different resources to help us with our learning, such as multilink, counters and Miss Peacey even showed us some real life examples with doughnuts and bread rolls! We found out that it's important to count in groups of numbers that we know (like 2s, 10s and 5s) so that it helps us count numbers quickly! 

Have a look at the photo of our learning.

Somebody Swallowed Stanley

In Guided Reading, we have been exploring our class text 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley', all about a plastic bag in the ocean that gets mistaken for a jellyfish! The animals in the ocean swallow him up without realising and get poorly! We have been putting our eco-hats on, and have been discussing how the author's words make us feel and making links between the book and the problems we face in our world now. We finished off our topic by taking an item that would normally be put in the bin, and recycling it into a piece of art.
