Year 1 have had so much fun this term. Before half term we were exploring 'What Wales Means To Me?' It was so exciting to learn about the different cultures in our class. We explored where our families have come from and were so happy to find out that there were ten different nationalities within our class. We found these countries on a map of the world and created the flags of the country where either we or our parents were born. We represented 'What Wales Means To Us' in an outline of a map of Wales. Each map looked so different. Some of our maps had our families inside them, some had flags from different countries in them. It was great to see that nearly all of the maps had a drawing of Springwood School drawn inside them, thus showing how it plays such an important part of what Wales means to all the children in Year 1. 

In maths we have been learning about addition and subtraction and have become quite confident at completing calculations using a variety of manipulatives. We are currently exploring place value; looking at and representing how many tens and ones are in a number.

Our current Talk For Write is a defeating a monster tale. 'Little Red Riding Hood' left her basket of food in our classroom with a letter asking us to help her. We had to go into the wooded area to find clues to open a magic door to discover the story map. This was so exciting!
