1L have had a very busy week planning a party for our class dog , Dylan. We made party hats, jellies and sandwiches as well as decorations for the big day. Some children made gifts for Dylan and he even had two birthday cakes. It was a great party with lots of dancing, eating and fun! Have a look at all of our pictures from the week.
This week the Year 1 teachers started our celebrations theme with a big assembly introducing lots of different celebrations to the children by dressing up costumes and acting out a celebration.
Today, in humanities, we thought about celebrations that come from other countries. We looked at maps and flags and found about the Celebration of Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day held in lots of European countries, and both North and South America.
The children learned to read and follow a recipe weighing out the different ingredients and mixing them to make the pancake batter.We cooked the pancakes and ate them with sugar and lemon. they were delicious!
We have been thinking and learning about healthy eating in 1L and especially about healthy "Traffic Light" lunches that include the three important food groups ; Protein (red), carbohydrates (yellow) and vitamins ( green). The children are now able to choose a very healthy balanced lunch and identify the food groups they are eating.
We have leaned about the benefits of eating lots of fruit and decided to make a healthy fruit salad to eat in class. We learned lots of new vocabulary linked to instructions for making fruit salad and used " bossy verbs " for our instructions .
The children in 1L sent in some wonderful pictures of their learning at home last week. have a look at their photos:
1L are really enjoying their ICT lessons and are really improving their mouse skills. We have been using lots of games to practice our mouse skills. Here are the activities they have learned this week.
