This half term we have been identifying animals and their characteristics. More recently we have been looking at what animals eat and sorting them into herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. We now know that carnivores eat only meat, herbivores eat only plants and omnivores eat a mixure of both. We thought about what we are, and looked at the foods a variety of animals ate and which catergory they were in.
Today the children were given 3 'poos' (playdough) from animals from each catergory. we dicected them and discussed if they were herbivores (had only leaves in), carnivores (had only bones in) or omnivores (a bit of both.)
We had so much fun pulling apart poo!

KS1 have been working their socks off over the last few months learning lines and songs words and we knocked everyone's socks off with our AMAZING performance! We danced and sang our hearts out and had so much fun doing it.

To raise money for Barnsley Hospice the children were invited to come to school in festive clothes or non school uniform. We had a lot of fun and it has definately got us in the festive mood!
Through the day we then designed our own christmas jumpers.

Look how far we have come from September!

We have stripped writing back in Year 1 and started by writing letters on a line, then words and then sentences on a line including capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. This week we have been holding a sentence as a class and then creating our own. We are so proud of how far we have come. Keep yours eyes peeled for updates on our 'wonderful Writing!'

In Class 1 we are becoming quite the mathmaticians! We have been working hard to develop our number knowledge and have been making and breaking the number 5 with the support of a part whole model. Just look at some of our amazing number sentences!
