This week we have been continuing to learn lots of fascinating facts about rain-forests. Did you know that algae grows on a sloth’s back? This helps them camouflage in trees to help hide from predators such as snakes and jaguars. wrote our own information pages about rain-forests. To show our learning we write information pages all about rain-forests. We organised and grouped our information into paragraphs and worked hard to include clear and concise facts. Below are a few examples of our amazing work:
In maths we have been continuing to learn about measurements. We have estimate and weighed the mass of different objects in both cubes and g and KG. We then used the mathematical symbols < > and = to compare their weight.
On Tuesday we visited Fishpond’s Wood to continue learning about our local area. We used IPads to take photographs of the key features of the woods. While exploring we rather enjoyed pretending to be sloths in trees!
Once back in class we then used these photographs to make a map of the woods complete with a key to help people find their way when exploring.
In class we have been reading Where the Wild Things Are. We made our own crown like Max by using natural items to create a pattern.
On our trip next week we are planning to explore the pond area of the woods so please ensure that the children bring a pair of wellies to school.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend,
The Year 1 Team
