Catch that Goat!

What a lovely start to the last week of term. Today we went on the P4 bus to the Horniman Museum to visit their two resident goats. 

Visiting the goat at the Horniman Museum's animal walk

We compared the Horniman's goats to Ayoka's pet goat in the book we have been reading this term Catch that Goat. We also visited the natural history gallery to sketch different animals.

Before finally becoming nature explorers in the nature base. Where we discovered how to find and identify wildlife living in and around our city.  I particularly liked seeing inside the bee hives!

What was your favourite part of the trip?

What landmarks did you spot from the Horniman view point?

How did you play the different musical instruments?

Did you prefer travelling by bus or underground on our trips

 this half term? Why?

What's our topic?

What do you think our new topic next half term is going to be? 

I'll give you a clue; we're going to be basing all our learning on one truly amazing animal!

Peer Reading

We love Friday afternoons in Year 1 because every week some of the Year 3 children come and read with us. They are expert readers and help us with the tricky words and make us feel good about our reading skills. 

Reading together 

After they have read with us we talk about the book and discuss what we like. So far our favourite book has been We're going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen.

Here is a video of Michael Rosen performing We're going on a Bear Hunt. Enjoy!

Nigerian Cooking

This week we have been learning how to write good instructions. Today we followed instructions to make some jollof rice with some of our parents who are from Nigeria. Tomorrow we are going to write our own recipe so we can make delicious jollof rice whenever we want.

Use the pictures below to give your parents instructions on how to make their own jollof rice…remember to use time connectives
