This week we have been learning about plastic pollution in our oceans.
Did you know that scientists predict there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish by 2050 if we don’t do something soon? In Willow Class we felt that this is something we need to change.
We designed persuasive posters to explain to people what is happening and how people can help. Next week we will be writing a formal letter to tell people how to reduce our plastic waste.
In maths we have been learning how to double numbers. We have learnt that double 6 is the same as 6 + 6 or 6 x 2. We drew pictures to help us solve the equation and some of us began to use our knowledge of partitioning to help us double two-digit numbers.
E.g. Double 24:
Double 20 = 40
Double 4 = 8
40 + 8 = 48
Last week we were able to visit the Year 4 and 5 Science Fair. We enjoyed participating in lots of experiments and learning about gravity, friction and magnetism. Thank you to Mr Peck for organising such a fun afternoon.
Next week it is the turn of the killer whale table for Show and Tell (Nelson, Matilda, Lucas, Shinjiro and Finn).
We hope you have a lovely weekend,
The Year 1 Team
