This week in Year 1 we have been using different materials to show what our homes look like.
Today we used different shapes and colours to make our houses. We cut out shapes using scissors and stuck them into our art books to make our house. We had to think very carefully about what shapes we used! Today in Science we began to look at materials.
We identified and matched up materials to their correct name. Then we looked around the classroom to see if we could find anything that was made from wood, metal or fabric. Next we will be thinking about what sort of materials we have in our home. Can you think of any? In Year 1 we are learning about Computer Games in ICT.
We used Purple Mash to create our very own computer puzzle. We then gave it to our partner to solve and we will be printing them off as well so that we can solve them using our hands! In Year 1 this week we have been planning our own story.
We are reading 'Man on the Moon' and decided to create our own story, but this time, with our very own alien as the main character! But before we started writing, we retold our story to our partner using our special sentence starter prompts. We are working so hard in Year 1 to be excellent communicators and we all did such a wonderful job retelling our stories. On Thursday Year 1 visited the Science museum to learn more about how astronauts travel into space!
We are reading 'Man on the Moon' in English and learning about Neil Armstrong in History, so our trip to the museum was really interesting for us. We learned about people going into space and how they get there. Maria even got to dress in a space sleeping bag! Afterwards we looked around the museum and found some rockets! In Year 1 we have been exploring number bonds.
Today we used our Ten Frames to find number bonds for 10. Can you think of any number bonds for 10? For the past few weeks in Year 1, we have been learning how to write a postcard!
We identified some of the things we needed for a good postcard and wrote a postcard to Max in the Wild Place. Then we decided to write a postcard to someone in our family. We worked so hard writing and improving our postcards. Today we finally sent them! Here are Kaiyan, Ali and Umamah showing us their postcards, ready to send! Year 1 parents: keep an eye on your mail...... In Year 1 we have been exploring Algorithms.
We used a Bee-Bot and gave it instructions. It moved around according to the instructions we gave it! But it didn't always work though; we needed to use our problem solving skills and communication to get the Bee-Bot to where it needed to go. In Year 1 we have been getting ready for the Winter Fair.
We decided to make delicious chocolate brownies! Here we are making them. Make sure that you try them! Today in Year 1 we tested our boat to see if it could float.
Some of our boats did float but some did not. We then thought about how we could fix the ones that did not float. Hmmm... What do you think we can do to make our boats float? |
