Hello Year One,
We have had a busy week! The children have completed their bean diaries and the beans have been taken home now. I hope you get some delicious runner beans from them.
The children have learned how to tell the time to o'clock and half past the hour. The have also learned the names of 3D shapes.
We went on a trip to Australia! We had some great things to share and talk about in the class room, including a boomerang. The children could locate Australia on a map and wrote about what they would like to do if they visited the country.
We ended the week with some fun water play!
We turned the water blue and added sea creatures.
The children also created beautiful prints this week. They designed their own blocks from potatoes and apples and made a pattern.
The children wrote their own versions of Jack and the Beanstalk. They used adjectives and adverbs to make the stories interesting and exciting.
