We have been learning about Florence Nightingale this week and how she improved the hospitals when she was sent to help in the Crimean War. Some of us wrote about it, some of us looked at a photograph and talked about it adding labels, some of us made a hospital in the provision.
Year 1 have been working hard in maths this week using the symbols + and = to write and solve number sentences.
We’ve also been making our own number lines and thinking where the numbers we chose would go.
Year 1 are currently reading Funnybones by Janet & Allan Ahlberg. Today the children took up the challenge to make a skeleton in one of the areas in the classroom. The results were amazing and more importantly they practised lots of different skills.
In RE we have been learning about how Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah. We all tried potato cakes and played dreidel.
This week in school we did design technology linked to our history learning about the Wright brothers first aircraft flight in 1903. We all made our own moving picture using a slider mechanism. If was a bit tricky in places but everyone got a final picture they were proud of!
They were all so fabulous we couldn’t decide whose should go on the website! Ask us about them
We had so much fun learning outside today. We were learning how to tell the O’clock and half past times, then we were working out half an hour later and earlier! We also made up our own stories for our clocks too!
Year 1 had a fantastic day at the Visitor Runway Park at Manchester Airport on Monday. We learnt all about the different jobs that people do at the airport and took the controls on the flight deck to take off and land an aeroplane on imaginary journeys.
We saw the fastest aeroplane in the world, Concorde, but just missed seeing the biggest aeroplane in the world as it landed 15 minutes early!
We have been learning about the chronology of the royal family and have been excited to hear the news about the new royal baby. We made our own maps to send to the Queen so she can find her way to meet her new great grandson.
Year 1 had a great time talking to OAFC players last week. We asked them lots of questions then took park in their warm up! Some of us even went to the match on Saturday!
