Our finished clay hedgehogs!
We are so so proud of our clay hedgehogs and think they all look amazingly cute! Our hard work, perseverance and new art skills have paid off. We hope you all agree!
With our scientists 'hats' on, we have been exploring the school grounds for signs of the seasons changing. We discovered the leaves are falling from the trees and are all different shades of red, yellow, green, orange and brown. Some trees have lost more leaves than others which we found very interesting. We also found seed pods on the ground too as well as berries, lots of twigs and some buddleia flowers that have dried up and died. We collected as much as we could to take back to the classroom to look at closely with magnifiers.
We are going to observe the changes in the seasons throughout the year and will take a class photo by a tree each time. Here is our first! There are lots of green leaves on the tree. We are excited to see how it will change throughout our time in Year 1.
We got Spiky the hedgehog home!
We have also been busy in our geography lessons and, now that we are map experts, decided to help Spiky the hedgehog find his way to a more suitable habitat. The forest!
On a simple map of the school grounds, we drew the best route from our classroom to our forest, walking along the route as we worked. We thought very carefully about which direction we had to take as we went. We have really enjoyed learning about directions and using a compass.
West along the path, past Year 2 North across the playground
Turning east to go past Year 6 Which way to go?
Through the playground or along the path? We took a vote and decided the safest way for Spiky is...
North, along the path! Then east across the grass
... and finally Spiky is in the best habitat with all the slugs and worms he can eat! Hooray for Year 1!
