How did the exploration of fossils help us to understand the different types of dinosaurs??

This week in Year 1 we have continued to explore our topic 'Digging for Dinosaurs' and have spent time looking at fossils and how they are used to help us find out about dinosaurs. The children have enjoyed becoming Palaeontologists and uncovering fossils, carefully using tools to ensure they don't damage them.

In Literacy, we have read a range of 'Harry and the Bucketful' stories. The children have spent time reading a range of sentences and editing them to make sure they have capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.

In Maths, we have been exploring greater than and less than, using the symbols to help. The children have used numicon, objects and symbols to help them show which is the greater number and which is the smaller number.

In Science the children have enjoyed learning about Autumn and sharing some changes that they have noticed in the environment. They have spent time exploring the objects they have brought in from home and writing amazing sentences to describe them.
