Villains, Numbers and Little Pig Houses – Year 1 on a Roll!
Share this post
A creative half term of writing, maths and science learning for our confident Year 1 class.
TL;DR:
- Wrote villain stories using adjectives, similes and punctuation.
- Became confident with partitioning numbers up to 10 and beyond.
- Used maths vocabulary and created their own problems.
- Learned about everyday materials in science.
- Built and tested strong, waterproof houses for the little pigs.
Wow! What another busy half term we have had in Year 1.
In English, the children have been really enthusiastic about their writing. They have created some fantastic villain tales based on 'The Three Little Pigs' and have been learning to use powerful adjectives for character descriptions. Some children have even started to include similes, and they are becoming more confident with punctuation such as commas and exclamation marks.
In Maths, the children have been amazing little mathematicians. They are becoming secure with partitioning numbers up to 10, with some children confidently extending their learning up to 20. They have also been using the correct mathematical vocabulary to say stem sentences and have impressed me by making up their own Maths problems based on partitioning numbers.
In Science, we have been learning all about everyday materials and linking this to our English work. The children have designed and chosen materials to make strong, waterproof houses for the little pigs. They have built their houses and are very excited to test them out!
I am very proud of all the children's efforts this half term and look forward to seeing their continued progress.
