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.
We enjoyed designing and making our own London taxis. The children learnt about axels and how to fit them to the ‘chassis’ of their vehicles. They then tested their taxis; making sure that their wheels were secured properly.
In year 1 we have been focusing our learning on verbs. This week we learnt about some irregular verb including ‘to have’ and ‘to sing’. We then learnt about regular verbs and how adding ‘ed’ turns the verb into the past tense. We played lots of games too!
We have been doing lots of practical maths in year 1. We have spent time putting missing numbers on a numberline, ordering numbers, doubling numbers and adding 10 more. We have found out that if we know our number bonds to 10 then this helps us know our number bonds to 20.
We have been counting up and down a numberline to 20 this week. We hid numbers for our partner to work out with their ‘x-ray eyes’. We also went outside and placed numbers on a blank numberline by using our reasoning skills.
We have been learning about the verb ‘to be’ this week. We played games inside and outside and wrote some of our own sentences using the correct form of the verb ‘to be’.
