Number bonds to ten

This week in maths we have been looking at out number bonds to 10. These are two numbers that add up to ten. 

Can you use the football shirt picture below to work out all the different combinations?

Watch this cool rock video to help you re-call all your number bonds!

Science Museum Trip

 On Tuesday 1st December we're going to the science museum to visit their materials gallery. We're also going to become hands on scientists in their Sensory Garden and Pattern Pod.

If you can't wait until Tuesday have a look at their website. Click here

What are you most looking forward to finding out?

Re-telling the Smartest Giant in Town

This weeks homework is to tell the story of the Smartest Giant in Town to our adults at home. Lots of fantastic re-tellings have been pinging into my inbox this weekend.

Here's one of my favourites!

Are you taller than the Smartest Giant?

Today children learnt to measure their heights using metre rulers and tape measures.

Do you think you are taller or shorter than the Smartest Giant in Town?

First we tried to get the whole class into height order, not using our voices! 

Then we worked in groups to measure our heights.

"I'm 114cm tall!" 

Peer Assessment

We have been learning how to be a critical audience in Year 1. This week we worked on our peer assessment skills by telling our friends what we liked about their George the smartest giant in town performances. We also told them what they could consider doing next time to make their performances even better. 

What advice would you give to the children in the video?

Maths targets

We have all been working hard towards meeting our individual maths targets in Year 1.

 Can you guess what this child's target is?

The Smartest Giant in Town

What a lovely start to this half term. We've been doing lots of learning about materials and measuring this week and have started to read and talk about our key text for the half term The Smartest Giant in Town. What a fantastic story!
