YR Butterflies Class - term 2a

Our dinosaur topic has taken us on an exciting journey back in time! We explored a range of different dinosaurs and found out fascinating facts using non-fiction books. We shared our learning through writing and used our knowledge to design and create our own imaginative dinosaurs. The children loved going on a dinosaur hunt, following clues around the classroom to discover which dinosaurs they could find. We used a variety of resources and materials to design and make dinosaur models, developing our creativity and problem-solving skills.
Alongside this, we enjoyed reading lots of dinosaur stories, which inspired our Drawing Club sessions where we drew and wrote about characters and settings.

In maths, we have been learning numbers to 8, developing our subitising skills with larger numbers and investigating even and odd numbers by finding doubles. We also explored weight and measurement using a range of different resources. We used scales to find objects that weighed the same and to discover which objects were heavy or light. Finally, we have looked at time by testing how many actions we can complete in a minute. 

In Religion and World Views, we have explored different stories from the New Testament about Jesus and the miracles he performed. We looked at different parables and discussed what messages they might bring to people.
