Ash Class Reception Y1

We had to put on special coats before we used the Science lab.  This was to keep us safe and clean!  Also, we felt like real scientists!

We have been working as a team to investigate.  We had to take turnsand talk about what we thought would happen?  This is called making a prediction!

Today we have been visited by the Flash Bang Science company.  We have been learning all about floating and sinking!  What happens when you add honey, water and oil together?  

We have been using our new outdoor play equipment to practise our balancing skills.  We have been working as a team, using our words and helping each other.

We have been using directions to help our Bee-bot travel to the different parts of the fairy tale mat.

Today we have been thinking about friendship and working together can make something special!

We used primary colours to show that we are special then we mixed them to make an extra special colour!  We worked as a team and used our words to share our learning.

We have been planting Lavendar seeds in old wellingtons ready for our bees to visit! We know that a seed needs soil, water and sunlight to grow,

We will need to observe the weather and water our Lavendar if the soil gets too dry.

We have an 'Observation Station' in our outdoor area.  We can use a magnifying glass to observe the mini-beast hotel, the wildflower graden, the potatoes we planted or our water gauges.  We are looking for changes and patterns.  We are also identifying reasons why things…

We have been talking about the changes in our trees from winter through to spring.  We used our findings to mix paints and record our work.

Today we had to pick a colour and make a collage using only that colour.  

Today we have been thinking about subtraction.  We have been using beans to 'take-away', counting backwards and also thinking about nnumber bonds to work out the answer.
