Once we were back in school, we used our new knowledge and understanding of maps and a key to create a plan of the high street of Wombwell and other significant features in our local environment.
Because we blew Mrs Simpkins Socks off with our new learning and achievements, we thought it would be a great idea to make a 3D model of Wombwell High Street... we are in the middle of doing this, but look at us working hard together.
 While some of worked collaboratively on the model, others used different construction materials to build stong houses for the 3 little pig... just in case the BIG BAD WOLF returned!
Mrs Simpkins gave us all merit stamps because we were super stars!!!

As part of our Science learning, we are investigating different materials in the environment. We then created a house suitable for the big bad wolf, using a range of suitable materials.

Each week in Y1, we have guided reading tasks to do. We really enjoy working together and sharing our reading knowledge with each other. We take it in turns to complete lots of different reading activities throughout the week. We have a great time!

In year 1 we have been learning about the part-whole model in Maths. We use this to help us to understand how to partition numbers to help us begin to calculate.

As part of our new topic 'Sticks and Stones and Funny Homes', this week we have read the story of the 3 Little Pigs and thought about where the wolf has disappeared to. We walked all around our school grounds and looked for important features that make our school and thought about if these would be places that a wolf would hide. 
We then used all of this information to create our own ariel view maps of the school grounds, including the key features and a key to help us locate places easily. We worked exceptionally well in groups and shared ideas well.
Mrs Simpkins was so proud of us.
