Minibeasts
We learnt all about the different Minibeasts. We were able to sort Minibeasts in the correct category and created our very own minibeasts using clay.
We then went outside and worked in pairs to record what Minibeasts they found and how many. We also had a close look at their micro habitats.
After the minibeast hunt, the children came back to class discussed these key questions; What were they like? What were their features? What habitats did you find? Any similarities/differences?

In today's PSHE lesson, we reviewed what we already knew about staying safe on the internet. We talked about rules and how rules are made to keep us safe and although we can find out information and have fun on the internet, we must always be careful when using it. We revised all the rules for internet safety then went over them to reinforce them whilst creating a 'class web' (as opposed to the Worldwide Web). One of us would say a rule out loud and then throw the wool to someone else and they would then recite a rule and so on.

Topic- What makes some places sacred?
Lesson - Which place of worship is sacred for Christians?
The children have been looking at artefacts in a church and why it is important to Christians.
We arranged for a lovely lady called Cathy to come and visit us in Year 1, to talk to us about her experiences of being a Christian believer. She even brought some artefacts from her church!
Prior to the visit, the children had to think of good questions they might ask a believer about why a church is important to them.
Thank you, Cathy, for taking up your time to come and visit us.The children have learnt so much about why a church is important to many Christians.

Spring
This week we have been reviewing the four seasons and learning about the different signs of spring. During forest school we took pictures of our surroundings to see if there were any signs of spring. Together we compared photos we took in autumn, winter and spring. We then used our senses to smell signs of spring such as, daffodils, lavender, fresh grass, leaves and soil. Lastly we learnt that plants need light, warmth and water. After this we planted our own seeds and will continue to observe them grow in to plants.
