First half term complete!

We have made it!

I would just like to take this time to thank everyone for all their hard work this first half term in Year 1! We really do appreciate the work that everyone is doing at home and it is starting to reflect in the work in school. We are super proud of how all of the children have settled in and adapted to life in Year 1! 

Class 1 have been asking the question this week, "Do trees with the biggest leaves, lose their leaves first?".  We've been working on our scientific enquiry skills to investigate it.  We decided by a unanimous vote that it was a mix of leaves coming off first, and that our first prediction of it being the biggest (heaviest) leaves, wasn't actually correct.  In fact, it had more to do with the sunlight and chlorphyll.
   
We discussed the very important topic in geography this week of deforestation. We looked at the impact that it is having on both the Amazon rainforest and our forests and woodland areas in this country, and the animals that live in these locations. We made posters to help raise awareness of this issue.

In RE we've been thinking about what morals are and discussing Peter and the Wolf and the The Elephant and the Ants.

Have a lovely rest and we will see you all after a week off where we will hopefully see some lovely weather!
