MY BODY

This week in Year 1 we have been learning all about our body parts and finding out different facts about them.

Did you know that your heart is around about the size of your clenched fist?
The children have also been comparing their body to parts to animal body parts.
Did you know that an octopus has 3 hearts?

In maths this week, the children have been learning about numbers and the place value of numbers. The children have been using dienes to represent numbers. See the picture below.
They have been learning how many 10s are within a given number and how many units. The children have been enjoying learning this concept and they are becoming confident in this concept and they are getting better at counting up to 100 as well as understanding the place value of a given number.

Lima’s Red Hot Chilli Pepper!

This week we have been looking at the text “Lima’s red hot chilli pepper’. Lima is very hungry wants to eat a range of different food and by accident eats a red hot chilli! Her family then come to the rescue to cool down her mouth.

In year 1, we have been tasting the different foods that Lima had.  We loved tasting new foods and we discussed the texture and taste of them. Both classes tried coconut, lime, samosas, jelly and pink grapefruit!
