Spring is on its way…

We have had an exciting week in Key Stage 1!

Our current Topic theme is called Flower Power so we have been learning all about the different signs of Spring that we can see around us in nature. As we have had warm weather and sunshine we have spent lots of time outside looking for the signs we have learned about.

Our focus during the afternoons this week has been Science. We had already written fantastic setting descriptions of a Spring morning which were so good that we had to go and read them to Upper Key Stage 2. Our use of vocabulary has improved dramatically this year and we are getting better at structuring sentences.

One of the most exciting things we have done this week is learn about lifecycles. We have concentrated on the lifecycle of a frog but we have also learned about butterflies as well. We all went outside to the school Nature Garden and collected frogspawn for the classrooms. Now we are waiting (not very patiently!) to find out what will happen when the tadpoles hatch and begin to develop…

Next week we will be learning about the solar eclipse (find out more about the solar eclipse on CBBC Newsround) that is taking place on Friday 20th March…
