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!
