@KCD_Year1 have enjoyed learning about position and direction in Maths this week. Today they used the probots to create shapes. They had to program the probots to follow instructions which included left, right, forwards and backwards ↕️↔️ @KentCollegeDXB

Some action shots from our fun filled (and tiring) morning with @TheQuickBoard We had a great time in @KCD_Year1 Thank you 😊

Wow! What a morning in Year 1! The children were so lucky to have @TheQuickBoard in school to analyse their agility and speed! They worked individually and as a team and their faces throughout said it all! 💪🏼 Thank you to @KCD_EIT for organising it! @KCD_Year1 @KentCollegeDXB

Leaving our legacy at KCD! The children across the school have been stamping a handprint onto the wall in order to leave their legacy. What a lovely idea 😊 🖐🏼 🎨 @KCD_Year1 @KentCollegeDXB

Today in Maths the Year 1 children have been learning all about the days of the week. They learnt this catchy song to help them remember the order of the days of the week 🎶 @KCD_Year1 @KentCollegeDXB

Year 1 are so excited about the new inter-house competition. This time it focuses on mental maths and they have to see how many number bond questions they can get right in 1 minute. These children are determined to beat their score each time! #dedication #hitthebutton @KCD_Year1

In EIT the children had to search for apps on the IPad! As you can see they had so much fun with Photo Booth! The teachers want to try it as well now! @KCD_Year1 @KCD_EIT

Year 1a loved their visit from Marshall who is one of our well being dogs in school. I think it is safe to say they all have a new best friend 🐶 @KentCollegeDXB @KCD_Year1

We might be biased but we think they’re great 👍🏻 @KCD_Art

@KCD_Year1 have been using printing techniques and bright colours to create their Blackbeard pirate portraits.

In maths today we looked at numbers to 100. We focused on how many tens and ones they have and used the part part whole model to represent this @KCD_Year1 @KentCollegeDXB

This week in Science, 1d have been investigating materials and what different objects are made from. We went on a hunt around the school to find objects made out of different materials 🧪@KCD_Year1 @KCD_ScienceDept

Children in @KCD_Year1 love reading and they especially love earning a rocket for their class. It’s very close in Year 1’s reading competition this term and we are excited to see who will win the class treat! Keep reading 📚 🚀 🤩

[Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai @KCD_Year1]

WOW! Look at these amazing pictures of the famous pirate Blackbeard! They have worked so hard with their Art teacher to create these effective pieces and we love them! @KCD_Year1 @KCD_Art @KentCollegeDXB

This week we have been learning facts about circuses. Today we read and sorted facts into the correct subheadings and orally retold the facts to our friends. This is really helping us to read tricker and more challenging words! @KCD_Year1

[Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai @KCD_Year1]

@KCD_Sport keeping us active in our indoor break times 💪🏼 Thank you, we love the workouts! @KCD_Year1 @KentCollegeDXB

[Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai @KCD_Year1]

In Connected Learning the children were learning about the famous ringmaster P. T. Barnum. Here are some questions that they would have asked him. @KCD_Year1 are really loving their new circus theme 🎪

[Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai @KCD_Year1]

We love it in @KCD_Year1 when children transfer their understanding of plurals and present and past tense and independently add these to their words in phonics to challenge themselves. They changed ‘glare’ into glaring, glared, glares all by themselves 👏🏼@KentCollegeDXB

[Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai @KCD_Year1]

Today in Maths we learnt to find a quarter of a number by splitting the whole number into 4 equal groups. We started by using cubes to do this and when we became more confident we moved on to drawing. We love fractions! @KCD_Year1

[Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai @KCD_Year1]

Today in EIT the children learnt how to send each other photos on the IPADs using the airdrop function. They were super at this and really enjoyed doing it. Good job 1d 👏🏼@KCD_EIT @KCD_Year1 @KentCollegeDXB
