Building background knowledge

Today we have been building our background knowledge about one of the planets of the solar system. We were able to find out lots of interesting facts which we will present in a formal report. I wonder if your child can tell you anything about the planet they researched?

Position counts!


Today we have realised the importance of placing digits strategically. We were competing to create the largest five-digit number we could – randomly generating our digits by rolling a dice. The frustration and tension caused whenever a digit lower than 5 was rolled created a great sense of friendly competition between everyone!

We are historians

Today we’ve been exploring timelines and finding out exactly when the Vikings invaded Britain. Some of us were quite surprised to find out how old our planet is and how recent, in the grand scheme of history, the Vikings invasions really were! We were also fascinated to find out that not all Vikings left Britain after 1066. I wonder if any of you have Viking blood running through your veins?

Maths

This morning in maths, year 1s were using the part-whole models to partition numbers and see how many different variations we could come up with. 👍🏼
