Year 1 had a fun morning in the woods and had to find 10 reading comprehension questions linked to the books we have been reading, 'Beegu' and 'Where the Wild Things Are.' We were joined by our adults and had to think carefully about the answers. We then tried to spot signs of Autumn and looked for wild plants, linked to our Science work. This was a sponsored event and the money raised will help fund additional educational resources for Year 1 to use. 

Year 1 continued our work with Beebots, programming an algorithm and predicting where it would end up.  We also had fun using special cases over the Beebots and making them draw their pathways.

In Maths, we have been sorting groups of objects and trying to work out the odd one out. We used our reasoning skills to explain to a partner why it didn't fit within the groups. 

In computing, we have been learning how to program computerised robots and how to use algorithms to make the Beebots move in a certain direction. We have to follow the algorithms to find the treasure on a map.  

In Art, Year 1 have been learning about different mark making skills. We practiced cross hatching, smudging and use different drawing tools. We then created a drawing of our favourite pet using the skills taught.
