We had fun going around the school grounds finding different fruit that has grown and ripened over the holidays. We enjoyed eating apples from the tree, and tomatoes from the vines.
In science we have been learning about different types of animals. The children enjoyed making hedgehog houses, learning how bees find nectar, making seed bombs and bird spotting in the hide.
Year 1 have been measuring using informal units of measurement. They then used centimetres and metres to measure items in the classroom.
Children placed numbers on a number line to 50. They had to estimate where they thought the number would go. We talked about one more and one less than a given number and counted up and down the number line.
