It has been a busy but fun half term for Year One.  Nativity rehearsals, dance practicing and lots of singing has been wrapped around our Castles Topic.  The children loved the visit to a real castle before half term and they used this experience to support their learning of the features of a castle.  Everyone produced some amazing writing, we are so proud of them.  Next half term handwriting is going to be a strong focus.

In Design Technology the children had a go at making their own castle with moving parts and in PE we had a go at Maypole dancing and archery.

Maths has been lots of fun this half term, exploring 2D and 3D shapes and discovering the properties of shapes. 

The half term ended with a really exciting visit from a pantomime company.  The children loved this and wrote thank you letters, requesting a return visit.
