What has been happening in Blwyddyn Un this week?

05.01.26

Blwyddyn 1 have begun exploring rhyme and rhythm through rap and beat poetry, working together 
to compose our very own Farmyard Beat poem. We also discussed onomatopoeias, thinking carefully about 
the different sounds we might hear on a farm. In maths, we have been exploring halving and understanding 
how it is the opposite of doubling. As part of our new theme, ‘Through the Eyes of a Farmer’, we have 
discussed why farmers and farms are so important, where our food comes from and the animals farmers 
care for. We have also been working hard to develop our incidental Welsh throughout the week.

12.01.26

Blwyddyn 1 have launched our brand-new class text ‘Farmer Duck’, exploring powerful adjectives to 
describe the very lazy farmer. Pupils discussed how his actions made Farmer Duck and the other animals feel and created thought-provoking, open-ended questions ready to interview him. In maths, we challenged our brains with arithmagons, developing our reasoning and problem-solving skills and continued strengthening our understanding of time by linking it to a farmer’s busy daily timetable. We followed the exciting journey of our food from farm to fork, discovering where foods like eggs, milk, chocolate, potatoes and apples come from. A fantastic week full of creativity, curiosity and brilliant learning!
