Year 1 have had a very busy two weeks! A highlight was designing and then making our own fruit salads in class. We carefully chopped our chosen ingredients and were all very happy with the final taste test!

In English we have been writing animal fact books. We compared fiction and non-fiction books first, then wrote about our chosen animal's appearance, animal group and diet. We then went to share these with Reception. 

In maths we explored length and height. We began by measuring with cubes then used rulers to measure objects as well as lines. 

In geography, we have been looking at our local area. We thought about our home, town, borough, city, country AND continent! We are very much looking forward to our local walk at the end of the week too. 

In science we have continued our topic of animals and this week we have been making the most of our school grounds and went pond dipping. So far Hedgehogs and Otters have been successful finding a range of animals including newts. Moles are looking forward to their turn tomorrow. 

We also enjoyed singing to you all this afternoon! Have a lovely Easter break.
