Class 1

Everyone has been enjoying our new role-play area. A London Tourist Information office!

Our English text is “Katie in London.” We have been busy creating missing posters about Katie and Jack. We used a range of adjectives to describe them.

It’s Girl Guide World Thinking Day today. Some of the girls wore their Rainbows uniforms and told us all about it!

In Geography today we identified countries and capital cities within the United Kingdom. The children used a contents page to locate the maps they needed within an atlas.

Year 1 have started a new maths topic to develop their place value skills. They have practiced counting to 50 and using base ten to partition numbers.

We completed our History topic “How have explorers changed the world?” by creating coats of arms to reflect the stories of each explorer. We also looked at how exploration has changed over time.

Investigating our sense of smell! Class 1 had 6 mystery items to identify. Most were able to sniff out the chocolate, some were more tricky!

Over the past two weeks we have been looking at giving robots different commands. We previously looked at forwards and backwards before moving onto left and right this week. We carefully followed instructions and predicted which symbol our bee bot would land on.

Year 2 are making the link between repeated addition and multiplication facts

In English we are creating factfiles about the astronaut Tim Peake. Today we used websites and non-fiction texts to research information about him.

In Science today we investigated our sense of taste. We tried sweet, salty, bitter and sour foods. Some interesting reactions to tasting lemon!

Using our “inspectacles” to improve our work - editing is an important part of the writing process.
