Class Blog - Year 1 and 2

What a fantastic week we’ve had in Year 1 and 2! There has been so much learning and excitement across all our subjects. Let’s take a look at what we’ve been up to.

 🌟 **Star Learner of the Week**: Wade 🌟
A big congratulations to Wade, our Star Learner of the week! Wade has shown amazing dedication in all his work, especially in Literacy and DT. Keep up the great work, Wade!

📚 **Literacy**
This week, we wrapped up our stories based on the book *Oliver's Stick*. The children did a fantastic job adding their own creative twists to the story, and we couldn’t be prouder of their hard work. Each story was unique and showed how much effort and imagination the children put in. Well done, everyone!

➕➖ **Maths**
In Maths, we’ve been working hard on addition and subtraction. The children are growing more confident each day, and it’s been great to see them using different strategies to solve problems. Keep practising those number bonds and subtraction facts at home!

 🎨 **DT (Design Technology)**
This week, we explored how to draw a dragon’s head for our exciting toy project. The children are designing a dragon that will use a special linkage system to move! Everyone's designs are looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to see how these will transform into a working toy.

 🔬 **Science**
We became real scientists this week, creating our own **Reflection Checkers**! The children used their checkers to investigate which surfaces around the classroom are reflective. They were very excited to find out which materials reflected the most light!

 📖 **History**
In History, we learned about the inspirational story of **Mary Seacole**, a brave woman who helped care for soldiers during the Crimean War. The children were amazed by her courage and the important role she played in history. We had a great discussion about why her story is still important today.

It’s been another busy but wonderful week! The children have worked incredibly hard, and we are so proud of their dedication and enthusiasm.

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
