Year 1 have been working on sentence structure, the hook for this was a monster had escaped and we had to think of ways of catching him.  We came up with sentences such as: Find a cage. Put pizza in the cage.  Cover the cage with blankets.

A dinosaur came into our shared area and made a big mess, he was looking for his eggs.  The children had to follow the clues to firstly work out who had made the mess and then find the eggs.  We wrote a letter to Mr Johnston explaining that we thought it was a dinosaur who made the mess because he was looking for his eggs.

Next term we will be working on instructional language and they will write a set of instructions on how to catch a star.  In other subjects we will be finding out about Guy Fawkes and why we remember him, in maths we will be looking at addition and subtraction and 2 and 3d shapes.  We will be learning the names and their features.
