Sweetie maths!

Learning to Double Numers using 'sweeties'!!

What a great way to learn how to 'Double' the number you have... We had to count the number of sweeties we needed to make 'Double'.

"Let me help you with your counting...!"

"'Doubling' is much better than 'halving' with sweets!"

That's a lot of sweets...

The children really got 'stuck in' to these 'doubling' maths problems...

...but we are not sure where all the sweets went?

We worked really well together... but keep away from my sweets and put that tongue away!

It was a great way to keep their attention focussed on the task!

'Doubling' was simply the best maths lesson ever...!

The best bit...? Well, Mrs Collingridge let us eat the sweets after the lesson!!!

Mmmmmm!

We really enjoyed our topic on Electric Rainbow. We designed and made a light source for the King of Sparkle to light his kingdom. We found out how to make a circuit using a bulb, wires, switch and battery. We had a great time in Techniquest helping the Selfish Elf fix his toys.

Community Exploring in Year 1

We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year!

May Mrs Collingridge and I take this opportunity to thank you all for the gifts we received from you over the Christmas period. It was very kind of you all.

Our theme this half-term is Community Explorers and we have been busy examining our surroundings. We have made a good start by drawing maps, locating prominent features within the village and creating models of the main buildings found in the locality.

May we proudly present our first model to you.
