We have been learning the greater then, less than and equal to sign in Maths! We have also been exploring how 5 is in other numbers.

Pupil prepared prayer and RE. We were looking at signs and actions within the Mass! 

We are really enjoying gymnastics in PE. Today we revisited one, two, three and four point balances and then went on to practice different jumps! 

Today Father Stefan came into Year One to talk to us about the signs and symbols of the Mass. We even got to try the unblessed bread! Thank you Father Stefan for giving up your time! ⛪️
