Year 1

Week 5

Hello everyone! We hope you're having fun at home and enjoying what is left of the sunshine!

Year One have been working very hard at home and at school over the last few weeks and we've been very impressed with all the lovely work we've seen.

In school, we've read lots of great stories including The Gruffalo and Tip Tap went the Crab.

We all really enjoyed reading the Gruffalo and lots of us wrote questions that we'd like to ask him.

Here are some of our favourites!

In Geography, we have been looking at features of Portsmouth and sorting them into "physical" or "human" features. We also compared Portsmouth to our local area in Aldershot and found we have lots of the same things! Many of our favourite human features are closed at the moment but we are lucky to have lots of open space and natural areas to enjoy!

We've also been thinking about staying safe and healthy! Just like the animals we've been learning about, people need food, water and shelter to survive and stay healthy.

We looked at different types of shelters and built our own mini shelters in our playground to test which materials were strong and waterproof.

Which material do you think worked the best?

We know that we need healthy food to survive as well and we had fun investigating the Eatwell Plate.

We learnt all about the different food groups and enjoyed talking about our favourites from each group. Lots of us like bananas and broccoli - some of our other favourites included avocado and pineapple!

We hope you've all enjoyed finding out who your Year 2 teacher will be and are looking forward to meeting them when you can. They are all very excited to get to know you!

Our year group email is still open so keep sending in your fantastic work - we love seeing what you've been up to!
