Year 1 have been finding out facts about reindeer this morning. Once  we had found out lots of information we shared our facts with the rest of the class for us to use in our Big Write tomorrow. Can you remember any reindeer facts?

This morning Year 1 and Year 6 were given a fantastic opportunity to run the daily mile with the Wigan Athletic youth team. We got to meet the youth team players and their coaches, then we showed them how we run the mile and which way to run around the track. We had lots of fun and it was great to warm up with the players!

Year 1 looked very festive in their Christmas jumpers today! Thank you very much for all the donations to the ‘Save the Children’ charity.

We had so much fun running the mile in our Christmas jumpers!

This week Year 1 have been practising their number bonds to 10 and 20. We have used ten frames and numicon to find which numbers add together to make 10 and 20, Year 1 worked really hard and came up with lots of facts!

We have been learning about fractions, Year One know all about halves and quarters. Today we found out how to split a number into quarters. We used sweets and plates, it was lots of fun!

Year 1 have a special visitor in our classroom, he is called Eddy the Elf and he has been sent by Santa. Eddy has been getting up to all sorts of mischief while we’ve not been looking. Do you have your own mischievous elf at home? Tell us what he gets up to so we can read all about it on our blog.

We have had a very exciting day in our own clothes! First we rehearsed the Christmas play, then it was time for our ‘flashmob’ dance. We even had a special guest, Humphrey the Bear, who joined in the dancing with us! It was so much fun!

In maths Year 1 have been finding out about fractions. Today we have been finding half of numbers. We worked in pairs to share the cubes or sweets equally between two. Year 1 were excellent at sharing and finding half of numbers!

This week we have been learning about fractions. The Squares worked really hard folding and cutting the shapes into halves and quarters. Well done everyone!
