--- title: "Year 1 Highlights" url: "https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-03-08-year-1-highlights" school: "The Palmer Academy" --- # Year 1 Highlights ![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/news/13(1).jpg) 8 March 2022 Year 1 have come back to school with heaps of enthusiasm and have had a great first week back! We are so exited to start our new topics – particularly our new history topic about the explorers Ibn Battuta and Neil Armstrong! We have started to learn a new narrative ‘The Ugly Duckling’ in our English lessons, which is a little longer than our previous texts but we are having a good go at learning the story and accompanying actions. We have really loved maths this week; we have been measuring all sorts of different objects around our classroom using cubes. Next week we’re excited for the new challenge of using our rulers to measure. Thank you to our parents for supporting world book day by sending your children in dressed up as their favourite book characters. They all had a wonderful, special day! Please remember to keep reading with your child every day and recording this on their online reading record (Go Read), in addition to logging them on to do their My Maths and Spelling Shed homework each week. Thank you so much for your support. ### Year 1 Highlights 08/03/22 [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-08-03-22/1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-08-03-22/1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-08-03-22/12.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-08-03-22/12.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-08-03-22/13.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-08-03-22/13.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-08-03-22/14.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-08-03-22/14.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/r1(2).jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-02-10-reception-highlights) Previous ### [Reception Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-02-10-reception-highlights) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/n1(1).jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-03-09-nursery-highlights) Next ### [Nursery Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-03-09-nursery-highlights) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
