This week in Maths the children have been looking at number bonds to 10 using Numicon and Ten’s Frames to help with their understanding. Our English focus this week has been the suffix - ‘ed.’ The children practised changing verbs into the past tense using the suffix ‘ed’ and then put them into sentences. In Science we have been finding out about mammals and on Friday we were lucky to have a visit from some mammals that help humans. Two guide dogs for the blind called Brody and Frankie came to Year 1. The children listened carefully as their owners explained the valuable work that guide dogs do, and answered the children’s questions. Christmas festivities have also started at Coten End and our week ended with a real treat, a trip to the Christmas Fair to play games, complete craft activities and win lots of prizes!
