We are beginning a new story in our literacy lessons, This is the Bear and the Scary night! Today we have created a talk for writing map to help us to remember the story and we then discussed what actions we could include for our retell.
One more!
During Maths, we have practically worked out what is one more than a given number. We have used concrete objects and the tens frames to make our given number, add one more to it and watch our number become larger!

Capital Letters Carousel!

Practical Maths!
This week we have been representing numbers and amounts in a variety of ways. During this lesson Year One represented objects practically using counters or bears in a tens frame.
