Class 1 Create Journey Sticks, Compare Lengths and Take Part in Multi-Skills

Class 1 have been recapping their knowledge from our recent geography work on understanding where the UK is found in Europe and in the world.  We have also considered the weather in the different seasons and have been on a spring walk, looking for signs of spring.  Following this, the class have created journey sticks to show what they spotted.  

In mathematics the class have used rulers and non-standard measures to compare length and are just moving onto mass.  Reception have also looked at how we can describe time, ordering events in a day and learning the days of the week.  

In English, the children have used the story of ‘The Lion Inside’ to write about the characters and the year 2’s are creating their own version, changing the characters and setting.  

In PE, recently we went to Point 4 and took part in a multi-skills event.  The children used throwing, catching, and balancing to complete lots of different activities.  

In design we are now looking at the stability of structures in readiness to plan and create a stable structure with a specific design criteria.  Our science topic has captured the children’s interest as we are looking at different animal groups and their features.  We are currently creating a classroom display with some examples for each group.  So far the children have made a scrapbook, showing some examples of each animal group and they have named them.  We will be adding information as we expand our learning.
