Angles and Turns
We have recently been learning about angles and turns. In order to understand anti-clock wise and clockwise turning along with 1/2 turns, 1/4 turns and 3/4 turns, we played a game of Simon says on the playground. If you turned the wrong way or turned too much or too little you were out!

WORLD BOOK DAY
For World Book Day, we focussed on a book called 'Dreamer' by Brian Moses and Bee Willey.
The book had a lot of really interesting and important themes that we discussed in class. As a class, we decided to focus on one theme - Whaling. We researched 'Whaling' and what it meant as well as looking into past and present events around this subject.
We discussed the features of a newspaper report and then wrote our own report about 'Whaling'. As well as the reports, we decided to create our own Moari Whale art which links to a English unit that we have just finished.

We celebrated World Book Day by coming to school in our pyjamas to fit in with the book 'Dreamer'.
The Dreamer is a written and illustrated picture book about a world where we all care for each other, for animals, plants and places.
This book inspired us to think about endangered animals.
We also enjoyed a Teams meeting with the children at home.

We read the book Dreamer by Brian Moses. We then thought about different ways that we could look after our planet. We decided that we shouldn’t throw litter, we shouldn’t waste water or electricity. We are going to try hard to remember to put our rubbish in the bin, to recycle, to turn off the tap when we are brushing our teeth and to turn off lights.
We then turned junk into other useful things. We made pencil pot holders from toilet roll tubes and used different plastic containers to make some plant pots. We also made some dreamcatchers.
Some of our friends at home looked at their favourite books, created new characters and made their own book.

Today was World Book Day and our focused book was 'Dreamer'. The children in school and at home read the book and then we looked at endangered animals around the world. We researched why they were endangered and how many were left in the world. All the children really enjoyed learning about this and were shocked at how many animals are at the risk of becoming extinct. We then created fact files of some of the animals and created our own Dreamer story. Here are some pictures of some of the work done in school. Some of the children at home are bringing in their work to display on Monday. We also had a lovely chat with some of the children at home and played 'Who am I?'.

In Year 1, we have celebrated World Book Day by coming to school in our PJ's - it has been a fun day!
We have shared the story of "Dreamer" and talked about our dreams for a better world - take a look at some of our dreams / thoughts.
Then, we have created bookmarks - using the scenes from the story as our inspiration.
We have also talked about how we can care for our world so that we put a smile on the face of the Earth - just like the little boy in our story.
