Fantastic use of Numicon in Miss Dyer's group today to identify different ways of making 9.

In English, Year 1 have been learning about writing instructions and using bossy verbs. We have read and followed some instructions and identified the bossy verbs being used. We then read the story of Mr Magnolia and used what we had learnt to write some instructions for him. We had to remember to use a bossy verb to tell him what to do!

As part of our Chinese New Year week Foundation have had a great day tasting different Chinese foods. We tried noodles, rice, crackers and vegetable spring rolls. 

We also looked at China on the map and talked about the differences between China and England. 

Foundation have been learning all about Chinese New Year this week.

Did you know it is the year of the tiger?

We have had fun retelling the Chinese zodiac story, writing Chinese symbols, making paper lanterns and animals masks. We acted out the story in PE and we are looking forward to more Chinese New Year learning as the week progresses.
