In maths, we have focused our learning on shape. We have been working on recognising and sorting 2D and 3D shapes. We worked practically, with a variety of shapes, and discussed sorting by different criteria. We also investigated patterning using shape. We learnt about attributes in a pattern; colour, size, shape, and how these can be used to create and continue a pattern.
In science, we were so excited to work as a team to test materials for their waterproof qualities. This would inform our decision about the best material to make an umbrella for Lenny, our class lion. We spoke about making sure it was a fair test and also the best way to record our results. We decided that plastic would provide the best waterproof coverage.
The children have worked hard during their first half term in Year 1 and we have been impressed with the way in which they have settled in. Wishing you all a relaxing and pleasant half term break.
