Welcome to Year 1!
We have been settling into our new classroom and routines over the last few days. Year 1 is very different from Reception, so it's a lot for us to get used to but we are doing a super job!
This half term our learning challenge is 'Why can't a Rhino live in the North Pole?', which is what most of our work will be based around. To kick start our topic we had a special delivery all the way from the Kalahari Dessert in Africa...
Sunny the Meerkat has come to stay with us in our classroom to help us learn all about animals that live in hot climates. We have also been reading the story Meerkat Mail, which is all about Sunny's adventures as he finds somewhere new to live!
We have drawn some fantastic pictures of Meerkats, thought about what we already know about them AND researched new information using the Ipads and fact files. We have found out some interesting facts about Meerkats!
In our English lessons we will be exploring our text with lots of exciting reading, writing and role play opportunities! It's going to be an exciting half term!
In Science this half term we are exploring animals that live in much colder climates! We are looking at both the North and South poles and how the animals that live there adapt to their habitats. We will be finding out how Penguins and Polar Bears stay warm in all of that snow and ice!
