--- title: "Year 1 Highlights" url: "https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-09-22-year-1-highlights" school: "The Palmer Academy" --- # Year 1 Highlights ![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/news/11(1).jpg) 22 September 2022 Year 1 have settled back into school fantastically! We are so proud of how they have picked up the routines of Year 1 so quickly and got straight into some great work! Over the past couple of weeks in English we have been writing about Little Red Riding Hood. The children have done 2 amazing pieces of writing, including their own version of Little Red Riding Hood where they independently chose their own character to replace the wolf in the story. In Maths we have started with some basic counting and recording of numbers to 20. This includes some counting forwards and backwards. We are now going to continue onto comparing two amounts using less than, greater than and equal to. As well as this, in Science we have been observing our shadows. We made puppets to cast shadows of different characters. We also went outside and had a go at drawing round our partners shadows with chalk. Keep up the good work Year 1 ### Year 1 Highlights 23/09/22 [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-highlights-23-09-22/11.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-23-09-22/11.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-highlights-23-09-22/12.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-1-highlights-23-09-22/12.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/jeans2.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-09-19-jeans-for-genes-day) Previous ### [Jeans for Genes Day](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-09-19-jeans-for-genes-day) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/52(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-09-23-year-5-highlights) Next ### [Year 5 Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2022-09-23-year-5-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/)
