Year 1
Nikki Lewis (Team Leader), Maddi Fletcher, Nerida Forster & Chantelle Quinn
We’ve had such an exciting time these past few weeks in Year 1! During Book Week we loved dressing up in our costumes and sharing our favourite stories. A highlight was meeting author Mark Wilson, who showed us how to draw illustrations and use animals to inspire our ideas. In Writing, we have been working oninformation pieces about our favourite animals, and in Maths we’ve been practising sharing and dividing in fun ways. We’re also continuing our dinosaur and fossil investigation, and it’s been amazing to discover new facts and ask big questions about the past!
