Mrs Paine

Well done Supreme class for a wonderful start to year 1! You have amazed me and Mrs Maskey with your fantastic effort and resilience so far and we can't wait for all the exciting learning to come.

Our learning this half term is around, 'Who were the greatest explorers?' We have learnt about Captain James Cook, Amelia Earhart and Neil Armstrong and the children particularly enjoyed our trip to space on a rocket.

In English, we wrote our own version of, 'We're going on a bear hunt,' where the children chose their own animal to go on a journey with. We created new stories such as, we're going on a penguin hunt and we're going on a polar bear hunt and the children managed to include some amazing adjectives to describe their animals.

We have now moved onto the story, 'A man on the moon' where we met a character called Bob who sent us a postcard. We have been learning about the features of a postcard and we can't wait to send him our reply. Then an alien visited school in a spaceship and left us some moon cake to try that was covered in slime. We couldn't believe our eyes!

In Maths, we have been learning all about place value, addition and subtraction. Supreme class have been working hard to remember to form our numbers correctly and to use resources to help us with our working out.
