    Year 1 had another quiz this week, this time all about reptiles. We learnt that they look a lot like dinosaurs because dinosaurs were reptiles. We also learnt that they aren't slimy, but have dry scaly skin. Some give birth to live young but mostly they lay eggs. Reptiles are cold blooded and they all have lungs and breathe air. We then made some snazzy snakes to take home.

    Anti-Bullying Week 2023 took place from Monday 13th - Friday 17th November. The theme was Make A Noise About Bullying. After an assembly to explain what bullying actually is, Year 1 listened to Andy and the Oddsocks sing their song about bullying and discussed what we would do if we saw bullying.

    Can I explain what makes an Amphibian? We found out that amphibians live on land and water and usually they lay eggs in the water. We know they start off with gills and develop lungs! Most amphibians have 4 legs but some have no legs. Amphibians are also cold blooded and hibernate in the winter. We learnt this using a lot of acting after a video and a quiz!

    History

    Posted by Mrs L Baker
    We had a great talk about how we could find out about the past, in particular about famous animals. We had lots of great ideas. I told the children how I had found out about a famous pigeon called Cher Ami by looking on You Tube and we talked about how reliable or not that may be.

    Our week of practical maths ended with a 100 square challenge! I cut up lots of 100 squares and the children had to put together as many as possible. Thea and Thomas were amazing at this and completed every single one. Well done!

    As part of our instruction writing, 'How to Care for Your Pet' the children practiced caring for our pretend pets in the classroom. It was very sweet and there was lots of great speaking listening. We even had children making habitats, food and toys for their pets.
