We have also learned to count on from a given number using a number line, very tricky!!!
This week we have also celebrated European Day of Languages. In year 1 we learned all about France.
The children had a fun day innovating Sunny the meerkat's story and followed him in his travel to France.

We enjoyed many French delicacies including a selection of cheeses and patisseries.

Well done to Olly this week for his relentless contribution during our carpet times!
We received a special delivery earlier on this week and attempted to guess who this suitcase might belong to. The children practised answering questions and tried to find out where the person was coming from and travelling to.
We thought about what type of clothes we would need if we travelled to a hot or cold place and wrote lists of items we would pack in our suitcases.
We are learning to represent numbers using objects and drawings. We are perfecting our counting and practised counting out loud, touching/ moving objects while counting and putting them in a line to avoid miscounting.
