In Yew Class pupils launched their persuasive writing unit with an exciting pirate-themed challenge! After discovering that a stubborn pirate captain had confiscated their classroom chairs, the children worked together to write and present persuasive arguments to win them back.

Using persuasive language, clear reasoning and thoughtful questioning, the pupils demonstrated fantastic writing, speaking and listening skills, teamwork and creativity. What a memorable start to their persuasive writing journey!

They followed clear step-by-step instructions and used time words such as first, next, then and finally to sequence each action correctly. A fun and tasty way to bring learning to life!

Year 1 had a fantastic time during their hands-on maths lesson exploring measurement and weight! The children used balance scales to compare classroom objects, make predictions and investigate which items were heavier or lighter. They worked brilliantly together while using key maths vocabulary such as heavier than, lighter than and balanced. Great teamwork and learning all around!
