Today we have been investigating seeds in different fruits. We loved looking at how different the seeds were in size and colour!

Planting daffodil bulbs 🪴🌼
We have been busy planting daffodil bulbs in our decorated plant pots! We are SO excited to see them bloom into beautiful daffodils! 💛
Planting seeds in Nursery 👩🌾🧑🌾🪴
We have been planting seeds in nursery, making sure they are well covered, watered and labelled. We planted sweet peas and carrots in our propagator and in a separate one we also planted seeds for wildflowers – we can’t wait to see them when they flower! 🌸🪴🌿🥕
Food chains 🌾🦓🦁
In our science lesson today we have looked at food chains and discussed who eats who. Look at the two food chains we organised.
The beginning of Case Study 2 in Nursery! 🌹🌿🪴
This week we have had a mini hook week introducing us to our next Case Study – ‘What happens when we plant a seed?’
The sand in our sand tray has magically turned into soil and we have been using gardening tools and plant pots to make ’soil castles’.
We have also been making our own succulent pots in the playdough area, using brown playdough, plant pots, leaves and decorative stones to create mini succulent plants.
We have also been sorting different parts of a flower in the tuff tray. We’ve been deciding whether it is a stem, leaf, petal or full flower and putting it in the correct section. The petals are really soft to touch and the flowers smell beautiful!
Visit from dental health!
Y1 have had visitors from the schools nurses to explain dental health to them. The children enjoyed finding out all about their teeth and are looking forward to brushing their teeth at home for 2 minutes!
Do sharks eat polar bears?
This was the question that Crew Godley were eager to find out. We were exploring food chains and the question popped up that could a polar bear be eaten by a shark? The answer was yes! Greenland sharks 🦈 can survive up to 200 years at depths of up to 600 meters under the artic ice 🧊. They are bigger than a great white and been known to eat polar bears 🐻❄️. We were fascinated by the facts we discovered.
What foods do humans and animals eat?
In science we have been looking at the different foods herbivores, carnivores and omnivores eat. Look at how we have organised the food images we were given.
Personal hygiene in Y1! 🖐🏼
Today we learnt about he importance of personal hygiene and how to show our hands properly. There are 10 steps to follow!
Shadows
During Science, we have been investigating how we get shadows. To achieve green standard, children had to explore if they could prove whether light travels in straight lines or not.
By the end of experiment, children were confident that light travels in straight lines and that we have shadows due to an object blocking the light source.
