We have just started learning a new T4W text map for our unit on non-chronological reports. Look how confident these children are when retelling the first sub-heading! The children love this way of learning as the pictures really help them! Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai #T4W

Today in EIT the children learnt how to send each other photos on the IPADs using the airdrop function. They were super at this and really enjoyed doing it. Good job 1d 👏🏼@KCD_EIT Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai @KentCollegeDXB

Today in Maths we learnt to find a quarter of a number by splitting the whole number into 4 equal groups. We started by using cubes to do this and when we became more confident we moved on to drawing. We love fractions! Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai

We love it in Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai when children transfer their understanding of plurals and present and past tense and independently add these to their words in phonics to challenge themselves. They changed ‘glare’ into glaring, glared, glares all by themselves 👏🏼@KentCollegeDXB

In Connected Learning the children were learning about the famous ringmaster P. T. Barnum. Here are some questions that they would have asked him. Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai are really loving their new circus theme 🎪

This week we have been learning facts about circuses. Today we read and sorted facts into the correct subheadings and orally retold the facts to our friends. This is really helping us to read tricker and more challenging words! Year 1 @ Kent College Dubai
