@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
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
KCD music week has been amazing music 🎶 We have loved seeing how brave our Year 1 musicians are during the morning busking sessions. This super ⭐️ blew us away this morning! @KCD_Year1 @KentCollegeDXB @KCD_Perf_Arts
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
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 📚 🚀 🤩
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
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 🎪
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
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
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
