Making Bread
We have been learning about bread products and how they are made. We considered how wheat is converted into flour and found out the countries which create the most wheat across the globe. After this, we tasted a range of breads and made notes on their taste, texture and quality. The breads included wholewheat, crumpets, naan bread and a variety of Subway breads (the children were very excited by this!)

This week we began our new Maths unit on division. We learnt that to divide means to share into equal groups. We also learnt that division is the 'inverse' of multiplication which means that all the numbers in a division equation can be used in a corresponding multiplication equation. This means that we can use our knowledge of our 2, 5 and 10 times tables to help us with our division.

During our 'positions' unit in maths, we explored and learnt all about the positions that you can come in a race, be in a queue and where in a line you can be standing. We went outside and had races, we ordered our friends using their ordinal numbers, we looked at some pictorial representations and had discussions and we put a group of people in their correct positions in a bus queue.
We have been looking at how we order a group of people into a queue and recording what position they are in based on who they are next to, behind, infront of and inbetween. We also used this knowledge to name their positions from both from the left and the right.
We are now able to say what position a person is when they are waiting for a bus, waiting for a fairground ride, running in a race etc.
1C PE - passing, keeping possession, dribbling and defending
Date: 6th Dec 2021 @ 9:00pm
In our outdoor PE lessons, we have been learning how to control a ball with our feet. We have been practising how to use the inside of our foot to pass the ball to a partner using control and coordination. Once we got the hang of this, we learnt how to dribble a ball and try to keep possesiion. We then had a go at attacking and defending a scoring a goal against an oposition.
1C Science - Humans including animals - Lesson 2

Using our senses
In today's lesson we learnt all about our seenses, which body part is used for each sense and how the senses work.
We had 5 different stations set up in our classroom that enabled us to use each of our senses;
Smelling station - we had to use our sense of smell to try and itentify what was in the pots. Did we guess them correctly? We got some of them right. Some of them smelt nice but some were stinky. The items in the pots were - chocolate, lemon, blue cheese, coffee, mint sauce and vinegar.
Touch station - there were items inside a feely bag that we needed to use our sense of touch to feel and think of what the items were without peeking - the items included were pom poms, shells, rocks, fabric, rubber, leaves.
Sight station - this station had a variety of objects that we closely observed using magnifying glasses. We then wrote some adjectives to describe the objects in detail (shiny, rough, bumpy, scratchy, smooth, soft etc).
Listening station - there were pots with items inside that we had to shake and listen to. We then had to tray and guess what the items were. We recorded our ideas onto a sheet of paper. (rocks, coins, shells, leaves, popcorn, rice).
Tasting station - we had six different items of food to taste, we had to have a little nibble of each of the foods so that we could actually taste them. We then had to use an adjective to describe each taste and record whether we liked it or not. The foods were, salt and vinegar crisps, rocket, chocolate, toothpaste lemon and ginger. We used a variety of vocabulary such as; sour, sweet, creamy, soft, spicy, hot, minty, grassy, yummy, yucky etc.
At the end of the lesson, we discussed the findings of the investigations and the true identity of the objects were revealed. We then had to discuss these questions:
-Did we guess correctly?
-Which sense did we find the hardest/easiest to use?
-Did anything affect our ability to use our senses during the experiments?
1C Science - Animals including humans
Date: 6th Dec 2021 @ 8:21pm
Lesson 1 of our Animals including humans science topis saw the children labelling the different parts of the human body.
First we had a quick quiz where we had to point the the body part that the teacher called out. we then wrote out some labels and worked in groups to label one of our classmate's body. This was so much fun!!
We then used the outline of a body to label the body parts with a partner.
