Drawing dinosaurs that were 25 cubes long.
Counting out the cubes with a partner.
This is the length of our new pet!
Yesterday the children carried out an investigation. This was to find out if we could keep a pet d
Diplodocus in the playground. He would be 25 metres long. The children decided that we would need to measure with a metre stick to find out. We discovered that the playground was too small. The Village Green, however, had ample room to accommodate him. The children each measured a metre and used their feet as a metre marker.
After our investigation on the Village Green the children had to count out 25 cubes in the classroom and draw a dinosaur that long. The children drew some fantastic dinosaurs. Keep a eye out for them on the wall in our classroom.
The investigation was fantastic because it encouraged the use of a variety of skills including problem solving, measuring and counting.
In the afternoon, year 1 explored our new school website subscription to 'Purple Mash'. Each child has their own login and password. We hope this is something that they will be able to use both at school and at home. Keep an eye out for more information coming soon!
Today the children thoroughly enjoyed their new year lunch. There was plenty of food to go around, including pizza, sandwiches, mini sausage rolls, carrot sticks, celery sticks, crisps, cheese, pineapple and fruit platters. The children has a lovely time and we hope to do it again.
