This week we have been continuing to learn lots of fascinating facts about rainforests. 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. Next week we will be writing information pages all about rainforests.
In maths we have been measuring capacity using liquid and rice. We measured water using the language of ‘full, nearly full, half full, nearly empty and empty’.
When measuring we noticed that different jugs could hold different amounts and decided that this wasn’t an accurate measurement. We then measured rice using the standard unit of measurement- ml and L- to ensure it was fair.
Due to the wet and windy weather this week we were unable to visit Fishpond’s Wood. Now that the sun finally seems to be out, we are hoping to be in the woods next week.
This week’s book recommendation is by Rodrigo:
“I am recommending the book ‘Mr Happy’ by Roger Hargreaves.
In the story Mr Happy is always happy and he lives in a cottage. I think it is a funny story because when he meets someone who is sad he has to make them feel better by bouncing around. The setting of the story is a forest and it takes place on a sunny day.”
Next week it is the turn of Micheal, Charlie, Magnus and Daisy for Show and Tell.
We hope you have a restful weekend,
The Year One Team
