Year 1 – Rabbit

This week in science we identified and labelled parts of the body. We also learnt the 5 senses and discussed what each one does.  

This week in maths we have been learning how to regroup using a place value chart. The children thought of a number between 11 and 19 and made it using ones on the tens frame. They then regrouped the ones for a ten using language such as in 15 there is 1 ten and 5 ones. 

This week in RE, we made Christingles. We learnt what they are used for and what each part represents. 

This week in Rabbit class, we have been writing a report on the physical and human features in Watford. 

In computing this week, we used the laptops to create a digital painting. We looked at Piet Mondrian Composition. We used different tools on the paint app such as how to draw a straight line, fill and undo. 

In English, we wrote a letter pretending to be Mr Big. We used ‘and’ to join words and clauses in our sentences. 

In art, we drew spirals using our wrists, elbow, shoulders and hips.  =We learnt that drawing is a physical and emotional activity. That when we draw, we can move our whole body.

This week in Design and Technology, we made our playground equipment that we designed. Max made a zipline and Penelope made a swing.  

This week in Rabbit class, we did an exciting science experiment. We used torches to test different objects to see if they were transparent, translucent or opaque. We recorded our findings in a table.
