  Trip to London Zoo

  To support our learning on animals and their habitats, Year 1 travelled to London Zoo with Year 2 to visit the animals. The children took part in a animal workshop where they explored different animal skins. We loved meeting our favourite animals in their homes.

  World Book Day!

  A busy week for Year 1! We loved participating in World Book Day, and exploring a whole range of books and reading materials. We loved dressing in our PJs for the day!

  We played pass the book (pass the parcel) to look at the books around our classroom.

  We had stories in our reading garden with adults

  In the afternoon, I challenged children to become storytellers, creating their own books and stories boards!

  It was a fantastic day to explore books and think about why reading is important to us.

  Camouflaging

  In science, we have been exploring how animals use camouflaging to hide from predators and how predators use it in hunting. We decided to see if we could find areas outside where our toy animals could use camouflage.
