Year 1 Newsletter

Year 1 have been busy outside in our outside area this week! We have been planting seeds, investigating tree trunks, making our own homes for Spiky and drawing woodland animals. In our forest session, we received an email from Mrs Moore telling us that the forest might be cut down to make a bigger playground. We came up with lots of reasons as to why this wasn't a good idea and have been writing letters to Mrs Moore with our reasons. In maths, we have been using the cherry model and ten frames to represent our whole number and its parts, using the manipulatives to help us. In science, we have been investigating the trees in our school playground. Our big question was 'Do shorter trees have bigger trunks?'
