Focus week - Year 1
Year 1 have been reading a lovely book called "The Comet".
New objects appeared in our classroom which were linked to our new story.
We used talking hands to think of questions about the objects like:
Who enjoys cooking food?
What is the cat’s name?
Where do they live?
Is the man the girl’s dad?
Are they happy?
Is the cat their pet?
The story is about a little girl and her dad who have to move house. The children wrote her a letter to let her know that she could make her new house a home. The children were also asked as homework to look up in the sky at night to see the stars.
In History we have been learning about toys from the past and making comparisons. I think the children were quite surprised when the adults told them that we didn't have an IPad or Nintendo when we were growing up.
In science we have been looking at what our senses do and carried out an experiment where the children had to guess an object by only using their sense of touch.
