We have been sorting different types of ships in year 1. We sorted them by size and colour. We talked about how the ships are powered by coal, wind and diesel fuel. 

The children have been practising counting up to 3 objects. We have used dots on plates to help the children to subitise up to 3 and show matching fingers. They have also used their counting skills to count objects around them. “Look, I have 3 daisies!”

In celebration of Shrove Tuesday, the children had a special visitor come in to school to make pancakes with the children. We talked about what ingredients we need to make pancakes and how they are cooked. The children choose their toppings and ate their pancakes together!

Today the children have been learning about Shrove Tuesday and Lent.  Together we made pancakes and all had a turn at mixing, whisking, pouring and eating!

The dream cave has been transformed this week with an uppers theatre and lots of hand puppets.  The children are excited to put on shows for each other.  

In preparation for pancake day tomorrow we have set up a tuff tray for the children to practise their cooking skills!
