Year 1 have had a great two weeks! 

In English we created our own monster. We then used adjectives to describe our monsters. We have now also learnt about verbs and have been writing about our morning routines. 

In maths we have been continuing to add and subtract numbers using tens frames, number lines and resources to help us. We also leant about fact families using part whole models.

We have begun our new history topic all about explorers! We thought about what an explorer is and what they do, we then drew ourselves as explorers. We have learnt about a significant explorer called Ibn Battuta and how he travelled for nearly 30 years!

In science we have been enjoying exploring a range of materials and describing their properties. This week we tested which materials were transparent and which were opaque. 

In art we have been working together to create a piece of artwork using different types of lines using oil pastels, pencils and pens.
