Some of the children in F2 have been coming to After-School Art Club. All of them have taken part in some great observational drawings and then a really great fun session of ‘speed painting’. Tonight’s session revealed an amazing artist though, whose painting skills (including composition and observations of shapes) really shone through! See what you think of this masterpiece…
Apologies that this is a little late!

In Math this week Year 1 have been learning about grouping and sharing objects.
We started by discussing what a group was and what it looked like.
We then discussed what ‘equal‘ meant and decided for sharing to be fair that all groups needed to be equal.
We looked at how we could share objects between equal groups and had a go with different objects.
We then looked at how we could begin to share other things equally between different amounts of groups.
The children explored the number 18 independently during continuous provision, showing a good understanding. Well done to those who took up the challenge!
This week in Y1 we are learning about making equal groups – We know that equal means the same as.
We used paper plates as our groups and put a certain amount of objects into each group, making sure they were equal, we then moved onto drawing groups and the objects. By the end of the lesson we were all very confident with recognising equal and unequal groups and were able to discuss what we could see.
This week in Maths, year 1 have been comparing different weights using balance scales. We discussed what we thought might happen when an object that is heavier was put on one side of a scale. The children predicted it would make that side move down. We then placed a full water bottle one side and a pencil in the other. They were correct! The side with the water bottle dropped and the other went high in the sky! We kept making predictions of different items we found around the classroom. It was so fun!
Then I asked the children what would happen if I put 5 cubes on each side of the balance scale? They showed me an equal sign with their arms. I was very impressed. We look forward to exploring weight further in future lessons!
