This week, Class 1 have done an amazing job exploring their brand-new books. The children have been so enthusiastic, showing great focus and excitement as they read together in class. It has been lovely to see their confidence grow and their joy in discovering new stories and ideas.
The best part is that the children are now looking forward to taking their books home. This means their reading journey can continue from school to home, giving them the chance to share their stories with family and keep practising every day.
This week, Class 1 took part in their very first Counting Collections session — and what a success it was!
Working with a partner, the children began by choosing a collection of objects to count. Together, they thought carefully about which strategies might help them — such as grouping, sorting, or counting in different ways. With lots of concentration and teamwork, they counted their collections carefully, making sure not to miss or repeat any items.
To finish, the children even had a go at recording their mathematical thinking, showing the strategies they used and the numbers they discovered. It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm, collaboration, and persistence in action.
Well done, Class 1 — you are already becoming brilliant mathematicians!
