Year 1 have had another brilliant week of learning. We did another science experiment where we continued to make predictions and make observations. This week we predicted if an egg would sink or float in different liquids. We were very surprised to see that an egg will sink in water but when you add lots of salt to it, it actually floated!
In English, we enjoyed writing sentences to describe our own monsters that we had created. We used adjectives to think about our how our monster looks and its personality. We have also continued looking at explorers and this week we learnt about some explorers that travelled all the way to Antarctica. In art, we sketched some icebergs, thinking about how we can shade them to show where the light is. Finally, in maths we have been learning about addition and subtraction and how they are related.
Year 1 have had a brilliant week of learning! One of our highlights was our science lesson. We investigated what would happen to skittles when water was added to them. Before doing the experiment we made a prediction about what we thought would happen, and then we observed any changes throughout. We were amazed to see the water turn into a rainbow as the colours of the skittles did not mix!
We have also enjoyed writing about more characters from the Gruffalo using adjectives. In maths, we have been using tens frames and number lines to solve subtraction number sentences. We have also been using the zones of regulation each morning to discuss how we are feeling.
The Gruffalo and pictures that move!
What an incredible week it has been! We have been singing our Harvest Assembly songs. They sang beautifully! We have videoed them and put them on Google Classroom. We hope that you enjoy them. We have begun our design and technology project - and have been busy designing a moving picture. We will be making our designs after the half-term break. You can see some of our wonderful designs in the photo above. In maths, we have been revisiting 2D shapes and making amazing shape pictures including a house, a rocket and flowers. We now know a lot of shapes including pentagons and hexagons.
Year 1 have had a lovely week! We have enjoyed describing a setting from the story of the Snail and the Whale. We discussed what a noun is and how we could describe it using adjectives. Then we used our senses to describe what the snail might see, hear, smell, taste and touch and wrote some sentences. In geography, we learnt about the five oceans and learnt a song to go with them. We have explored the continent Asia and learnt about some popular Chinese traditions including making lanterns. In maths, we have been learning all about addition. We have been writing addition sentences and using tens frames to solve them. We have continued to learn about Mae Jemison and thought about how proud she would have felt to overcome her fear of heights and become the first African-American woman to travel into space. We also thought about all the amazing things we can be proud of, for example learning to ride a bike and all our fantastic learning in school. We really loved sharing these with our buddy classes.
We have had a lovely creative week in Year 1!
Exploring the sense of touch and learning the importance of unity.
Year 1 have had another busy week! In science, we continued learning about our senses. We had lots of fun exploring different smells, noises and sounds. We then discussed some of our favourite tastes and described how things feel too.
We have enjoyed reading the story of the Snail and the Whale and we acted out parts of the story thinking about all the wonderful places the snail and the whale visited. We also did some colour mixing in art and learnt about primary colours and discovered what happens when we mix two colours together.
In maths we have been learning our number bonds up to 10 and exploring how many different ways we can make 10.
What would an explorer pack for an adventure?
Skeletons and our bodies!
