Year 1

Spring Term

This half term Bird World visited Year 1.  We found out more about birds, reptiles and mammals and loved meeting the different animals.  In particular we found out more about the owl, tortoise, chinchilla and guinea pig that  visited our classes. 

 Whilst you are at home can you research these 4 different animals, for example what do they eat, which part of the world do they live in?

Thinking about the groups birds, reptiles and mammals can you draw other animals that belong to these groups?  If you have pets at home which groups do they belong to, how do you know?  Are there other groups of animals we have not mentioned?

We made amazing 'pop up' toys in our DT lessons.  Some of our ideas included space themes, under the sea themes or animal themes.  Whilst you are at home can you make a  different moving toy or picture? 

 

Once Upon a Time

In Early Years, we have been really enjoying traditional fairy tales. Our role play areas currently are Granny's Cottage from Little Red Riding Hood, a shoe shop from The Elves and the Shoemaker and a Fairy Tale Castle.

We all had great fun making gingerbread men and hope they tasted as good as they looked!

We will be finishing this topic with a Fairy Tale Ball on Friday 3rd April. Please come dressed as a character from a fairy tale. We are very excited about it!
