A morning at the park
Year 1 had a fantastic time at the park this morning. We looked at signs of Autumn and also did some geography fieldwork using compass points. We even managed to have a play on the slides and swings!
Part Whole Model
Year 1 learnt about the Part Whole Model today. They used counters, conkers, multilink and number cards to make parts and wholes. Fantastic learning!
Pezzettino
Year 1 read Pezzettino today as part of their Maths lesson on recognising parts and wholes.
We learnt that Pezzettino is actually Italian for ‘little piece’. Year 1 had fun counting the different coloured parts.

Comparing Numbers
