Year 1

 

This term has been fantastic for Year 1. We have been reading ‘Deep in the Woods’ by Christopher Corr, delving into the world of the mouse and his quest for the perfect home. We have produced lots of great writing and some amazing art, maths and science work in our afternoon enrichment sessions, even creating our own small world! We have had a look at Russia and Russian culture, as ‘Deep in the Woods’ is based on a Russian folk tale.  In maths we have covered addition and subtraction and we have looked at seasonal changes and animals in science. Year 1 performed beautifully in our KS1 nativity and should be very proud of themselves! Overall, every child  have done so well this term and we are looking forward to all the new things we will cover next term, Merry Christmas and a happy new Year!
