Spring 2 Newsletter Foxes Class
Tasting in Foxes!
Today we tasted lots of different fruits. We tried strawberry, limes, lemons, oranges, avocado and bananas. We then decided after tasting the fruits which fruits we would like to add to our smoothies. Everyone did really well at trying them and Foxes as a whole loved the strawberries the best.
Dogs Trust
Dogs trust came in to speak to the children about how to care for Dogs. They had a school assembly on how to be careful around dogs and then a class assembly on how to care for dogs and other small animals. Thank you Dogs Trust for coming into our school to teach us more about dogs.
DT in Foxes
This term, DT has closely linked to healthy lifestyle choices in PSHE. The children have been exploring different fruits and their textures. Next week, we will be creating and tasting a mixture of different fruits and vegetables.
World Book Day in Foxes
We all dressed up as animals because we are reading and creating our own version of the “Interview with ….” books by Andy Seed. We made bookmarks, painted animal plates and lots more exciting tasks. We loved all of the outfits!
PSHE
In PSHE this term we have been focusing on how to stay healthy and make healthy balanced lifestyle choices. This week we focused on things that are safe and unsafe. We worked in groups to organise photos of different things in our house and had discussions about how certain things could be safe and unsafe.
Place Value
Year 1 have been focusing on place value and understanding how numbers up to 50 are created. We looked at comparing numbers such as 32 and 23 and looked into how they were different. We used the dienes practically at first to identify how the numbers were made up of tens and ones and then we started to pictorially create representations of the numbers.
