RE: Why should we care for others?
This initiative offers children the opportunity to become competent cyclists through the development of balance and control. We have lots of expert cyclist in Year 1 !
This week we are learning how to partition numbers into tens and ones. We are spending lots of time doing this practically before recording this in our books.
In science we have been learning about what animals eat. We were introduced to some new vocabulary - carnivore, herbivore and omnivore and were encouraged to sort pictures of animals by what they eat. Children used scientific vocabulary throughout as they discussed why each animal belonged there.
