This half term, our science topic has been about animals (including humans).
Here is the vocabulary linked to the topic. Ask your child about these words and what they mean. They might even remember the actions we’ve made to help them learn these.
Being healthy has been an important part of this science learning including keeping clean (including the importance of hand hygiene), good nutrition (based on the Eat Well Guide) and exercising.
As the World Health Organisation publishes Every move counts towards better health, Year 1 enjoy trying to get their active 30 minutes at school every day. From skipping ropes at playtime to laps around the playground for brain breaks and from Super Movers active maths videos to physical activity challenges in our shared area.
Finally, this video and Once There Were Giants by Martin Waddell helped us to understand animal and human life cycles.
There are some great scientists in Year 1 and we’ve been very impressed with their learning throughout this topic.
