Year 1

Year 1 are using a range of resources to support their Maths learning at home.  It’s amazing what you can use in the house to help you learn.  We were amazed to find how many 3D shapes exist in our homes.  To help us make tens and ones we found Lego to be really helpful.  Pasta, chocolate,…
