Dear Parents / Carers,
In English we have started to plan our own story based on the story of Hermelin the detective mouse. We have thought about our animal character, it’s name and a words to describe it.
In Maths, Year 1’s have been counting in 2s and 10s and nows 5’s. They have been recognising equal groups, counting equal groups and creating arrays. For example we have been saying the sentences: “the are 3 groups of 5, there are 15 altogether. Reception have finished their 3D shapes work, and are now working on numbers to 20.
In Science, we planted sunflower seeds, talked about what plants need to grow, and labelled parts of a sunflower - seed, roots, stem, leaves, petals.
In Geography we flew to another continent - North America. We learnt lots of interesting facts again and even learned to line dance!
In Art we looked at mandalas. We had a go at painting our own, remembering to only use 4 colours.
In History we have started to find out out another explorer- Neil Armstrong. We talked about his success of landing on the moon, his famous sentence and watched a clip of it.
