The Snail and the Whale - June 2024
We cannot believe we are now in our final weeks of Year One!
This week we have begun work on the text The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson. We have really enjoyed learning lots of facts about snails and whales - just ask us to tell you some! We then had a chance to get up close to some snails and used the hand lens to identify the different features including the two sets of tentacles.
In maths we have focused on position and direction. We have looked carefully at the vocabulary and identified whether shapes had made a quarter, half, three-quarter or full turn.
Our topic this half term is Explorers. We looked carefully at a timeline and discussed where we would place the explorers Christopher Columbus, Mary Kingsley, Matthew Henson and Dame Ellen McArthur on it.
