This week we explored the pond wildlife at Fishpond’s Wood. We observed the different plants that grew there as well as the animals that live both in and along the water’s edge. We got very excited when we spotted a family of ducks hiding in the bushes. Then using bug hunters, we went on a mini beast hunt to see what creepy crawlies we could find!
After exploring the pond we then took part in our class Easter egg hunt and happily chomped on our chocolate treats.
In maths this week we have been completing our termly assessments to consolidate all of our learning.
Next term we will be starting our topic ‘By The Sea’. The first book we will be reading is ‘The Snail and the Whale’ by Julia Donaldson.
Below is an attachment to an overview of our learning for the Summer Term:
This week we have enjoyed learning about Ben’s dinosaur bone and Jan’s animal atlas in Show and Tell.
This week the children all took home a set of real and alien words for them to practise over the Easter holidays. The children need to use their robot arms to sound out and blend each of the words carefully. This is to help consolidate their phonics knowledge, ready for the final term.
We hope you all have a restful Easter break,
The Year One Team
