 Agent L shares his construction work with us!!

Agent L - The cheeky smiler.  Agent L is one of the enthusiastic learners in year one, when he is good, he is really really good...  He can be kind and helpful to others and always goes out of his way to help his teacher.  It’s the smile!

Agent D - A little treasure with a great attitude to learning.  Agendt D has especially thought about others this week and tried to help them out.  This was a pleasure to see.  Well done.

Agent F and Agent E

Agent F Agent F is trying hard and has settled into year 1 very well. He always has good manners and is willing to share with everyone. These are the star qualities of a golden child, well done.

Year get busy learning about types of measurement

Handspans

Last week Year 1 have been learning about measuring things with their hand spans.  They collected different objects from around the room and then measured them to see if their hand span was wider than the object of not wider. 

Some children investigated how tall they were using hand spans as measurements

Big Talk - Big Write

This week we talked about the Creepy Chameleon

 We watch some Wildlife finder clips and watch the Chameleon change colours.  We found out that Chameleons Camouflage themselves when they are frightened this means they can blend into their surroundings and it makes it hard to see them.

 We talked about what we found out

 We talked about the sentences we could write about the Chamelon to describe it

We had to look closely at how it looked.

and what it was doing.

We thought of these sentences together.

The creepy chameleon climbed up the branch.


The lizards claws looked scaley.


The chameleons has scaley skin and it can change colour.

This weeks word was Camouflage

Camouflage is when some living creatures blend into their surroundings so they cannot be seen or it makes it very hard to see them.

Here are some living things that can change their skin to camouflage themselves.

 

Can you spot the living creatures look here for more pictures?
