Year 1's Page

Last term Year 1 learnt about materials.  Our WOW experience was sorting a huge pile of rubbish that had been dumped in our class.  We made sure we were prepared with gloves, apron and glasses as we were not sure what we would find.  It took us a while to sort the rubbish into different materials but we got there in the end. 

Year 1 did their best to use all the materials.  Firstly we sorted the materials into their different properties, found out how many different materials could fit into a plastic container, sorted materials into colours and then counted them using tens and units.  In addition we made pancakes, musical instruments with either a high or low sound, houses based on the play 'Home' and mainly our fantastic scarecrows.  Alot of effort and team work went into making our scarecrows.  We  went through the process of planning, collecting materials, making and evaluating against the success criteria we agreed at the beginning.  We hope you enjoyed seeing them at the exhibition!

We also made the most of the snow and enjoyed the arrival of the ark.
