Our Wonderful World 

This week in Year 1 has been full of exciting learning and wonderful new experiences! In Maths, we have started learning all about halving. We discovered that halving means cutting or splitting something into two equal parts, and we had lots of fun practising with different objects. In English, we finished writing our very own books called How to Look After a Sunflower. We worked really hard to use time conjunctions like "first" and "next", and imperative verbs such as "water" and "place", and we were all so proud of our amazing writing. In Science, we continued to observe our bean plants, and we were so excited to see that they are beginning to shoot and grow taller each day. In RE, we have been learning about what makes a good leader. This week, we looked at Gru, Bob the Builder, and Scar, and we had great discussions about whether they are good leaders or not, and why. We also started learning our class dance this week, which was so much fun—we are already looking forward to performing it! The absolute highlight of our week was our fantastic trip to Beale Park. We had a brilliant time seeing all the animals, including goats, parrots, baby meerkats, and playful otters. During our workshop, we even got to hold some animals and learn all about different animals that live in Africa. It was such an incredible and memorable day for all of us!
