Year 1

This week in English Year 1 have been continuing to learn the story of Lost and Found, and we are now starting to change the characters to make the story our own.

In Maths we have been working really hard using number lines to help us understand where numbers to 20 are placed in relation to each other.

In Science we have been trying to predict what the best material would be to fix Mrs Taylor’s broken umbrella. Next week we are going to test them out.

In Geography we have learnt about how penguins can survive in the coldest continent on Earth. We have watched some great videos and think that penguins are actually very funny!

Year 1

In Year 1 this week we have started learning the story of Lost and Found by Olivier Jeffers. We are using this fantastic book as a starter for our topic this half term. Our topic is all about the Antarctic and what it is like there.

In Geography we have been looking at the landscape of the Antarctic and what the weather is like. We found out that it is the coldest continent and driest! It doesn’t rain much!

In Maths we are continuing to learn all about teens numbers and how they are made up of tens and ones.

In D.T we have started to plan our puppets which we will be starting to make next week. We will be learning to sew using needles and thread. We are already very excited to bring them home to show everyone!

This weekend you could take a trip to the library in town to see if you can find any other books by Oliver Jeffers! (pictured right).
