This week year 1 are looking at time. We had great fun completing timed activities such as star jumps, cube towers, writing names and numbers... How many can you do in 1 minute?

Year 1 have been working in pairs to investigate programming using the Scratch Junior app.

In maths, the children have been learning about money. They enjoyed working in pairs, discussing the similarities and differences between each coin and ordering them in size and value.
In science, the children planted cress seeds. We are excited to taste the cress once it grows.
