This half term our computing topic is ‘let’s find out and film’. Today we investigated the best way to find out information about dinosaurs. Year 1 took turns using books or the internet to find facts about dinosaurs. We found out lots of exciting information about different types of dinosaurs and decided that both the internet and books were really helpful to find out information.
Year 1 discussed E-safety before using the internet. We talked about staying safe online and reporting to a trusted adult.
This week Year 1 are writing a recount all about their Christmas Day. Today we split into pairs to talk what we did on Christmas Day. We started our sentences with time connectives such as ‘first’, ‘then’, ‘after that’ and ‘finally’. We also tried to use lots of adjectives in our recounts. I really enjoyed hearing all about your Christmas Days Year 1!
