Half Term Information Spring 2 2025

Year One have had a great half term. We have travelled around the world, exploring books, cultures, food and artwork. During our yoga sessions in P.E. when travelled to Italy, Australia, Egypt and South Africa exploring different yoga poses. During our topic lessons we researched the country Kenya and found out about similarities and differences to England.

In Maths, we really enjoyed using the weighing scales to find the mass of a range of objects in the classroom. We compared the weights of objects and used non-standard units of measure and grams to say how much things weighed. We then explored capacity, using water to explain the words full, empty and half full.

Using the i-pads we created our own animated stories. We explored sound effects, backgrounds and moving transitions. We also continued using the Maths programme ‘Numbots’. All children have their own log ins and we are excited to see who can climb the leader board.
