Group 1 Measuring Activities
Group 1 have been enjoying taking part in different measuring tasks. We have been reading books about measurement discovering ancient measurement of length was based on the human body. Group 1 explored different types of measurements including lengths, mass and volumes. We spoke about the different units of measurements and had a scavenger hunt to find different packages with measurements on. We used the i pads to explore google maps finding out the distance to some of our favourite places or places we’d like to visit. Fun was had using the trundle wheel outside and measuring rainfall in a beaker. The young people had fun making their own play dough counting cups. We then used our fraction work to try and split the play dough into equal parts using scales to see if we were accurate. One pupil used the play dough to help complete some equivalent fraction work. Fun was also had making numbers, letters and patterns with the play dough. We then used the measuring jug to make our own kinetic sand working hard to follow instructions and measure carefully.
Group 1 Earth Day Activities
Group 1 celebrated Earth Day by taking part in lots of different activities. The Earth day theme this year was fighting plastic pollution. We got messy burying some plastic, an apple and some paper in soil, then writing down our predictions what we think will happen. We will find out in 4 weeks if our predictions came true! The book A Planet Full of Plastic was enjoyed by group 1, we read it and answered some questions before writing about what we felt the biggest problems with single use plastics were and thought of things we could do to help. We went on a litter pick in the local park and analysed the litter we collected before making and reading some graphs. We also looked at how plastic could enter the food chain. We explored the life cycle of plastic, made pictures from salt and glue and completed a scavenger hunt. We completed some recycling tasks and learned about plastic in our oceans.
Group 1 Spring Activities
Group 1 have been busy completing Spring activities during their IDL time. We enjoyed observing and recording all the signs of Spring outdoors. We have been pairing baby animals with their parents and learned about the life cycle of a frog. Following instructions group 1 made their own paper frogs. We enjoyed acting out the Easter story and making our own story boards. Group 1 made Easter eggs and put their favourite things inside. We also explored symmetry in nature, made our own symmetrical butterflies using paint and completed some symmetrical patterns in class.
Making Patterns in Maths
In Silver Class this week we have been looking at making our own patterns! We really had to focus and work out what we wanted in our patterns.
Chinese New Year in Red Class
This week in Red Class we have been exploring lots of different activities relating to Chinese New Year. We have been making Chinese lanterns, using play doh to create different symbols and completed different matching and sorting tasks too!
Do Bigger Hands Hold More Cubes.
Group 1 have been measuring different lengths this week. They have used cubes and rulers to measure their hand lengths. Next they counted how many cubes they could hold and investigated if bigger hands could hold more cubes. They stood in order of hand length then stood in order of how many cubes they could hold. One pupil also plotted the results in a graph. 
Another Busy Week in Green Class
We’ve been really busy in Green class this week. We made some cute snowy owls from pine cones, made salt dough diva lamps to celebrate diwali and have been learning about time doing a time scavenger hunt around the class. We are looking forward to lots of Pudsey fun today.
Shape-tastic! in Red Class
Autumn in Yellow Class
During Autumn Yellow Class have enjoyed lots of outdoor learning. We completed nature hunts, made patterns and shapes with natural materials, sorted leaves by size and colour and of course had lots of fun throwing leaves and watching them fall to the floor!
