In Maths we have been working hard on fractions and are starting to learn about equivalent fractions. Today, to help with our initial understanding, we worked in pairs to build a fraction wall. We used strips of paper and started with 1 strip at the top to create a whole. We then folded paper to create sections according to the denominator from halves to twelfths. We then looked at lines that matched up and explored why for example 1/2 is equal to 2/4 and 1/3 is equal to 2/6. We then used our knowledge of fractions of an amount and cubes to check these. For example 1/3 of 12 is 4 2/6 of 12 is also 4.

Year 1 – Building Things
In our science lessons, we have been learning about different materials and their properties. We can identify the materials that objects are made out of and what properties that material has. Children have really enjoyed Read more…
