What a week in Year One!

 

Hello Year one Families

It has been another busy week here in Year One. 

In science we have continued our learning about animal groups: mammals, amphibians, reptiles, insects, birds and fish. We learnt some facts about each animal group and then had a go at drawing some we knew with our friends. 

Animals also made an appearance in lots of our 'busy time' learning this week too. We have been learning about the continent of Asia so the children have been colouring and making Asian animals at the playdough, drawing and painting tables this week.

The noodle tray was a big hit this week. Not only is it a staple food in Asia but it is great for developing fine motor skills too! 

In maths we have been learning about one more and one less than a number and how to count on from a number (not starting at 1 each time).

In drawing club we finished our 'Dear Zoo' story with some great ideas about what a crocodile might like to eat and adding three more animals to the zoo. The children have been practicing leaving finger spaces between words and spelling the word 'the' correctly. 

Ms Johnson was very impressed with the children in DT this week. It turns out we have some adventurous eaters in Year One! The children tried spinach as part of their DT, designing a smoothie. The children also got to eat the tomatoes they had grown in Reception too.
