Hello Year One,
We have had a fabulous week. Our trip was amazing and the children were so excited! We packed so much into the day. The morning was taken up by learning about farm animals, feeding animals and holding some smaller creatures. The children saw a cow being milked and they could name all the food items we make from milk. We went on a tractor ride to see more animals.
They actually milked a cow!
They had a tractor ride to see where Peter Rabbit and his friends live!
Then it was time for lunch!
The afternoon was full of fun as the children managed to have a turn on many of the activities !
It really was a fabulous day and one I am sure they will always remember.
The coach ride home was strangely quiet!
We have also been carrying out pre and post visit activities as the children have been learning to name animals and their young. They will be describing farm animals next week.
We have worked on 'finding the difference' in our math's lessons.
Today the children wrote a series on instructions on how to plant a bean.
Next Week
English
We will be starting a new book next week called Anancy and Mr Drybone. It is a West African traditional tale. Our work will come from this brilliant story as the children will write character descriptions, plan a story by mapping and use this to sequence their own story.
Maths
We will begin exploring coins and their value. The children will compare the value of coins, calculate coin combinations for values that do not have a designated coins below 10p.
Art
The children will begin to explore patterns next week. They will be creating a variety of prints. They will be designing a repeated pattern which they will create using fruit and vegetables.
Geography
Next week the post farm visit activities will be completed as we describe a farm animal in great detail.
I wish you a relaxing and happy weekend.
Ms Davis
