Year 1's learning in Term 1

 Year 1 Term 1

This term Year 1 have been learning about what makes us special.

We started when we found a buried time capsule from Miss Garnier's family. We learnt a lot about what they like from the objects inside it.

We then brought in our own family time capsules and explained to the class more about our family, who we live with and what they like to do.

In art we used mirrors to practice sketching our faces.

We learnt that humans are animals and sorted animals into different groups. We then learnt about the diets of different animals and identified omnivores, herbivores and carnivores by what they ate.

We enjoyed listening to 'The story of the Little Mole who knew it was none of his business' to help us understand more about animal diets.

We also learnt about the different parts of our bodies and enjoyed taking photos to complete our treasure hunt.

We then learnt about our 5 senses and explored each sense individually.

Sight

Taste

Smell

In Geography we learnt the 4 countries of the United Kingdom. We used a giant puzzle to put each country in the correct place on the map and had a go at labelling the country and it's capital city.

 

Finally, we wrote about our families, including ourselves and drew a family portrait to go with it.
