Instruction Writing Can Be Yummy!

Miss Jamieson — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 09:22:54 +0000

In Year 1 we have been busy learning how to read, follow and write instructions. We made Lighthouse Sandwiches for Mrs Grinling last week and this week we are writing the instructions to match, pop in and see if you like.
Below are pictures taken from when we made bread for the Little Red Hen, do you think you could type some instructions to match?
By the way it tasted delicious so you if you fancy having a go and need any bread making advice, just ask Year 1!

Using a number line

Miss Jamieson — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:38:45 +0000

A really useful maths tool for Year 1 children is a number line. As seen below in 1HS the pupils are using it to estimate a number of objects and match this amount to the number line.

They can also be used for adding and subtracting by ‘jumping on or back’ along the line.
Please ask your class teacher for one to help your child at home.
