Week commencing - Monday 4th November

We continued looking at measuring, this time focusing on measuring the weight of something. We learnt that we use scales when measuring. We also learnt that we use grams and kilograms to measure the weight of something. To implement what we had learnt, we did some baking! We followed a recipe and also discussed why some words were written in orange, these were the verbs. We know that verbs are doing words.

On Wednesday we enjoyed a trip to Norwich Cathedral; the children were amazed by the size of the building. We spent time looking at the stained glass windows which represent stories from the bible. We particularly looked at the story 'A good Shepard'. We also looked at some colourful stained glass windows which reflect beautiful beams of light into the cathedral. We had the opportunity to make our own stained glass window too. Before lunch the lady told us a story without using a book, instead she used wooden figures which represented the people and animals in the story. I would like to share with you just how proud myself and Miss Villalba were of each and every child in Year 1. Everyone demonstrated outstanding learning behaviours and it was an absolute pleasure to take them to the cathedral to represent our wonderful school.
