Another busy week in 1R, as you can see! Lots of learning and lots of fun! In English we have written stories, practiced spellings and handwriting and read our books. We have been counting in 2's in maths as well as ordering and sequencing numbers. In science we are learning about the sense of smell and smelled lots of strange things. In art we have been creating portraits in the style of Picasso.

The children have worked so hard this week. In history they have learned about the famous local men who have inspired the names of our house teams and have produced work for a class display.

In English they have thoroughly enjoyed reading 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea'. More fabulous work followed for another display. Photographs next week.
