Chestnut Spring 1 Week 4

Date: 30th Jan 2026 @ 4:09pm

Chestnut have had a great week.

We have been creating moving pictures in D.T. using levers and sliders. The children have explored how the mechanisms work and then designed a moving picture about 'Wild', a story we have looked at in class, using a slider and a lever to make the character move. We also completed some focussed practical tasks using the stories 'The Gingerbread Man' and 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.

In Maths, Year 1 have started a new topic, Addition and Subtraction within 20. Whilst Reception have been representing numbers to 5.

Our Year 1 English lessons have been focussed around the story 'The Dragon Machine', whilst Reception have been reading and writing about the story 'The Egg'.
