This week in Year 1, we have enjoyed exploring our new class text, My Dog Smells Like Smelly Socks. As part of our English learning, we have been discovering similes and thinking about how they make our writing more interesting. The children worked brilliantly in pairs to create some of their own imaginative similes, sharing lots of creative ideas with each other.
In Maths, we have been developing our number knowledge by matching Numicon shapes to number words. The children enjoyed using practical resources to support their understanding and build confidence with numbers.
Our provision time has been full of collaboration and creativity. The children have particularly enjoyed our small world play area, spending time exploring and creating stories with our fantastic castle. It has been wonderful to see their imaginations come to life through play.
One of the highlights of the week has been observing the children in our book corners. It is always lovely to see them sharing stories with friends, discussing characters and pictures, and developing a real love of reading.
We are very proud of all the enthusiasm, teamwork and creativity that Year 1 have shown this week. We look forward to another exciting week of learning ahead! 📚✨🏰🔢
