Throughout the week we have enjoyed eating the yummy tomatoes we grew in the Summer Term.

They were delicious! – Wyn

Yummy and juicy! – Florence

In Class 1 we have been learning about what dinosaurs eat. We’ve learned what types of dinosaurs are herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

Today Miss Tame brought into Class dinosaur poo. We made sure we wore protective goggles and gloves and dissected the poo to find out what type of dinosaurs it was from. There were lots of discussions about what we found in the dinosaurs poo; some of us found sticks and leaves whilst others found eggshells and bones.

We all enjoyed being Palaeontologists for the day!

Throughout golden time we have explored Miss Tame’s dressing up suitcase. We especially enjoyed dressing up as dinosaurs!

This week we have been learning all about different dinosaurs and what they look like. Class 1 have made dinosaur skeletons out of pasta. We had lots of fun smashing, crushing, snapping and cutting the pasta into the shapes and sizes we needed. We ended up having different skeletons, some had 2 legs, some had plates along their backs, some had tails and others had flippers. 

A Dinosaur Cave

We were delighted when we found a cardboard box in our class. We used our imaginations and decided as a team to design the box into a dinosaur cave to add to our role play area. Firstly we started by painting the outside of the cave with our chosen colours. 

This week we have had lots of fun completing our Dinosaur Missions in Class 1. We have

created our own dinosaur stories to tell to a friend, completed the dot-to-dot dinosaurs and draw our own dinosaurs using real-life pictures.

Phonics

In Class 1 we have been practicing our letters and sounds and focusing on how to form them correctly. We have all enjoyed exploring our inside and outside areas to write our letters. 

Dinosaurs

This week we found our dinosaurs trapped in the tuff tray. We had to work out how to set them free by…..”cutting”, “tearing”, “unwrapping” and “ripping” the cage.

We worked really hard as a team and set the dinosaurs free, yay! 

We have been making estimations this week!

We guessed how many pompoms were in the jars and explained our reasons why. Afterwards we counted the pompoms to check our estimations, we were all so close and some spot on!
