In English over the last two weeks Year 1 have enjoyed reading the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We have written a retell of the story using some of the story language. In maths we have been exploring number to 20. We have compared numbers by finding how many more and how many fewer. In science we have investigated absorbency. We dropped water onto different materials to find out which ones absorbed the water. We made it a fair test by dropping the same amount of water on each material. The children have really enjoyed our Windmill DT project and were pleased with their final products!  In geography we created our own maps of the playground. We created our own symbols and included a key.
