Spring Term
In computing this week we have looked at designing our rockets on Sketchpad, using ours mouse skills. Lots of praise given to the children for their resilience as mouse skills can be tricky. Well done class 1!
Today in English we ordered instructions on how to make a jam sandwich, we then followed the instructions to make our own sandwich. Tomorrow we will be using our knowledge to write our instructions.
Science Week! Should we flush it away? Year 1 have been investigating what we can flush down the toilet. We put different materials into a bottle of water, shook it and observed what happened to them.
In PE we looked at ways of moving, linked to animals, we then held a balance and repeated this to make a sequence. We then showed our sequence to each other.
In English we are learning about instructions. We identified the imperative verbs and time conjunctions. The children loved carrying out the instructions to plant their own seeds.
