This half term in Year 1 we are answering the Big Question ‘Are you afraid of the dark?’ We have been looking at how people celebrate using light and dark.
We had a firework display in the park and look how we are turning this into a dance.

In Year 1 we have been having all sorts of fun in Numeracy. We have been learning how to use a metre stick and finding the lengths and widths of objects around the school. Here are some photos of us throwing beanbags as far as we can and measuring the distance. How far can you throw a beanbag?
