A wonderful week and Marwell Zoo reminder

 Hello Year One families

What a wonderful week we have had at school. The children visited drawing club and wrote code words and sentences about an animals favourite food and what other animals might live in the zoo. We have practiced our letter formation of c, a, o, e, f and g this week too.

In maths we have learnt about counting back and one more and one less.

We have nominated our Pupil Voice(s) for Year One. Congratulations to Jack and Yasmine.

We also nominated our Eco Crew. Congratulations to Nellie and Ralph.

The children will attend meetings and represent our class for this term.

We have also been learning in lots of new ways around the classroom. This week we:

 Practiced our model making skills ahead of our 'zoom' with Nick Mackman next week. 

Learnt some more facts about different continents. Keep the home learning coming in . . . we are enjoying playing 'Guess the continent'.

Independently practiced our maths learning by sorting objects, using a tens frame, counting and making 1 more.

We wrote to the zoo keeper to tell him what animals we could see.

Investigated animals and their groups (often using magnifying glasses).

Built animal enclosures - inside and outside.
