What have 1G been up to this week?

This week in literacy we have been looking at, following and writing instructions. The children had to follow each other's verbal instructions to draw a picture which they not seen. Below were the results. Afterwards, we discussed whether the drawings were similar and how they could be improved - by better instruction giving or listening!




Below shows us following some instructins to plant a sunflower seed which we are taking home to feed and look after. There is a competition at the end of this half term to see whose sunflower has grown the tallest!
The children have written their own instructions on how to grow a sunflower which are displayed in the classroom window.


In History we have begun our new topic of Toys from the past. We started by thinking about toys from our own past (since we were babies) and how our tastes and capabilities have changed as we have grown. We had to order some toys in age order and we really at good at explaining and justifying why some toys are more appropriate for younger children whilst others are more challenging for older people.


This term 1G are having a big focus on our presentation and neatness so there will be daily morning competitions to see who can show Mrs Greatrex their neatest handwriting, forming their letters correctly and to the correct size. 
Remember lots of stamps can be won!



During our choosing time, some children have been working with play doh to create real looking flowers and plants as part of our new science topic.


In maths we have been finding fractions of amounts by sharing counters into halves (2's) or quarters (4's). 
We are getting really good at this now!
