We have been learning about mini beasts in Science and on Tuesday we went on a Insect Safari!
We worked in teams of 3 and in each team we had a Communications Officer (the person who communicates with the teacher), a Safari Sargent (the person who directs the team) and a Bug patrol and digger (the person who gets their hands dirty and looks in the bushes and dirt for bugs!). We had to carefully look for insects around our school and look at the environments in which they live.
Here are some pictures of our Safari!
As well as looking at mini beasts in Science, we have also been exploring non-fiction texts within our Literacy session. We have learnt about different text features within a non fiction text which include contents pages, titles, headings and labelled diagrams.
We have read books about Caterpillars and Butterflies and have used the information to create our own explosion charts, KWL charts and Caterpillar reports. We even had some time to create some caterpillar art!
I have been blown away with some of the writing that the children have been producing and I am so proud of the comprehension strategies that they have been implementing in their work.
We are very clever scientists in Year One!
