Maths - Weight

Image
  This week the children have been learning about weight and mass. We have used the balance scales to compare different objects around the classroom. At first we but objects at each side to see which one was heavier or lighter. Then we used maths resources such as cubes and numicon pieces to compare the weight.    

History - Coronation and Jubilee medals

The children this term have been learning about Queen Elizabeth II. We have looked at images through her life, created a family tree of the royal family and researched facts about her life. The children have used the I -Pads this week to find facts from the BBC bite size website and recorded these on a fact file.  The children have looked at a real coronation medal and a Jubilee Medal that belongs to a friend of Mrs Button. The children enjoyed looking at the video of the soldiers during the processions and seeing the artefacts from the event  in person.

Maths - Height and Length

This week we have had lots of fun in maths measuring length and height. We have used lots of different non-standard units of measure to find the length of height of ourselves and objects around the classroom. On World Book Day we have compared the height and length of characters from out story The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson.

 This term the children are learning about what it means to belong to a Mosque. We have explore different Mosques and looked at some of the features. This week we had a visitor into school to talk to the year one classes what Islam means to them and what it’s like going to a Mosque. They gave us a virtual tour of the Leeds Grand Mosque, showed us artefacts and answered questions that the children had about Islam. Some children dresses in traditional dress. 

DT- Marmalade Sandwiches

 The children have been learning about Paddington Bear this week in English. We have learnt lots of facts about him, one being that he loves marmalade sandwiches. The children were excited to try the marmalade sandwiches so we decided to make them for ourselves. We practiced our spreading and cutting skills. With the bus being ready for the children this week, we enjoyed the sandwiches we made on the bus.
