Barnwell Academy

Class 1

Welcome to Year 1!

 

 In Maths we have been investigating a range of different practical and mental strategies to investigate number bonds to 20.

 

In History we investigated our own past and created a timeline of our lives.

      

 

 In Design and Technology, we made our own fruit smoothies. First, we explored different tastes to help us decide which ingredients to use. We then chose 2 different fruits to use in our smoothies and we blended them together with ice. They were delicious!

 


 In Science we have been looking at different animal groups. We found out about the features of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, insects and reptiles. We then sorted these animals based on what they ate and showed whether they were carnivores, herbivores or omnivores. 

 

In Music we have been learning about the genre of Hip Hop. We have found out the difference between beat, rhythm and pitch and we learnt out to improvise to our own song. 

 

In Computing we have learnt about algorithms  and how to give precise instructions. We have practiced giving beebots instructions to move.
