Science

Today in Year 1, we had a special guest. Mrs Housley's mum came and spent time helping the children repot sunflowers that she has grown for them. The children were then inspired to create some art work representing what their sunflowers will become.

Science in Year 1 this week has been based on leaf and tree identification. The children worked collaboratively to find and collect leaves from outside and then they worked to identify them and describe what they looked like.

In our writing lesson today, the children practised their instructional language by creating a video on how to plant a bean. They then used their own instructions to plant up their own beans that they have been growing in science.

Year 1 have been busy today making their own representations of plants, making sure they include the main parts or roots, stem, leaves and flowers. The children used a mixture of resources to create their plants and then labelled them to show their knowledge.
