Moving Monsters, Microhabitats and Mathematics in Class 1

Class 1 are excited to start lots of Christmas craft activities and have already made baubles, Christmas gonks and Christmas trees.  They have used a wide range of skills from weaving to paper folding.  

In English, the class have finished their story of Trixie and are now looking at writing instructions.  As part of our writing, we used role play to create bug hotels and have considered how many ways we meet instructions from recipes, craft projects to how to build things.  

In mathematics the children are looking at both 2D and 3D shapes and their properties, learning lots of vocabulary such as edges and vertices.  

In geography we have considered what it is like to live near the equator and the world’s climate zones, comparing the UK with Kenya.  

In science the children have completed work on microhabitats and enjoyed seeing all the creatures ‘Roaming Reptiles’ brought to the school.  The class have been very creative with their moving monsters project in design technology with some great use of levers and linkages.
