This week we completed an experiment to find which material would protect an egg when dropped from a height. We discussed how to make the experiment fair and what we needed to do to ensure this. The children were very excited about uncovering the results.
In Math this we have been working on subtraction: take away, counting back, find the difference and next week we will finish looking at the fact families for addition and subtraction.
This week was anti-bullying week so on Tuesday we wore odd socks to raise awareness and in PSHE discussed what behaviours were deemed as bullying as this can be a difficult concept to understand for younger children. Today we wore our pjs to raise money for Children in Need, thank you for all your kind donations.
Next Friday is our class assembly starting at 9am in the main hall. It would be wonderful if you were able to come along to see what we’ve been learning about since starting in year 1.
