Along with the rest of the school, we have been busy learning our songs for Friday’s lantern festival. We are very excited to see the festival come together and show you our dance. Please join in the songs with us!
Congratulations to Georgina who received her determined pin this week. She has worked really hard to achieve all of her ticks. Keep up the good work – you are a wonderful role model for our class!
What a busy few weeks for 1a!
We thoroughly enjoyed our ignite day where we got to dress up like Stuarts and learn all about the Great Fire of London. We have been using what we learnt since – in literacy we have been looking at Samuel Pepys and his diary entry for the night of the fire. We have imitated his diary, making sure we include time connectives. We have also now innovated his diary, writing from the viewpoint of the baker who was responsible for the fire. This week we move on to invent!
In project we have learnt how they put out the Great Fire in 1666 and compared it to today. We learnt that it is much quicker and easier to put out a fire with fire engines! We also learnt how the tightly packed houses caused the fire to spread quickly and that when London was rebuilt the houses were built further apart with brick fronts. This week in project we will look at everyday materials and their properties.
In maths we started multiplication, looking at groups of. We found this tricky to start with and needed to be determined with our learning. This week we will start learning division.

As part of Black History Month KS1 have been learning about Mary Seacole. We found out that she nursed wounded soldiers in the Crimean War between 1854 – 1856. Mary stood up for what she believed in and risked her own life to save others. Look out around school for portraits of Mary that the children have created this week.

This week we have been looking at our favourite Autumn festivals, fruit and vegetables. In Maths, we have been creating tally charts. We asked each other questions and found out that most of us like Bonfire Night and apples are our favourite fruit.
We enjoyed creating tally charts – what else could we find out?
