We have had lots of fun this week starting our new topic 'All Creatures Great and Small'. We started our topic off by thinking about just how amazing animals really are and we used the internet to research some rather strange animals just to prove it! This week we have learnt two new words; 'endangered' and 'extinct'. We went up to the library to find books about endangered animals and we used these, and the internet, to create lists of animals that are endangered. We looked closely at tigers and found a great book which has taught us lots of interesting facts! We really liked the pictures in the book too so we created some of our own... don't they look great!
We added some facts and one of the pictures to our World Map display to remind us where tigers can be found. We are looking forward to adding to this map from our learning across all of our topics in Year One! The thunderstorm today caused lots of excitement in Year One today so we spent some time finding out about them and looking at amazing pictures of lightning at night time! We learnt there are around 1,800 thunderstorms across the world in one day!
Fantastic work Year 1. In year 3, we've been looking at how animals in the Amazon rainforest are endangered and could become extinct too. We're making making posters to help save them. We'll come and show them to you when they're finished.
