A Fabulous Trip to the Ice Age Exhibition

The Year 1 children had a fabulous trip to the Ice Age exhibition last week. It linked wonderfully with our Science topic on Mammals and was a perfect introduction to a future topic on Pre-Historic Animals. The children were in awe of the lifelike models that moved and made very realistic noises! They learned all about what the world looked and felt like during the Ice Age, the creatures that lived then and Early Man. They were also able to read some very difficult dinosaur names!

In addition to this, we have had a fun practical week in Maths, learning about ‘Measure’. The children used so many creative non-standard units of measure to explore length and width. They drew around themselves and their teachers to see how tall they were and measured the length of the playground. Next week, they will begin to measure in centimetres and metres.
