Thanks to you for managing to come to our geography lesson on Thursday- such a crowd! I hope you enjoyed not only working with your Remarkable Rabbit but also having a glimpse into their Y1 life. Our next few lessons are about 'where in the world?' and we look at the UK as part of a continent and the world, then we start to find out about Shanghai- comparing and contrasting geographical features. We will miss Mr Webster a lot as he lived in China for almost 3 years but he has sent me a video of him talking about his Chinese life and has co-erced got his old TA to send a video message as well!
In science and RE we are also considering the world. In science we are focusing on what is a man made vs physical feature and how the seasons in the UK change. They were fascinated to learn of my Indonesian experiences of only 2 seasons per year - dry and wet! It is interesting how hard they find the calendar and months and seasons. They understand what it is now but find it hard to relate to the past so several could not place Christmas, Easter or their holiday with a month. We will be re-doing this then investigating nature's way of changing in the seasons.
The RE slant with the world is how it all began according to Christians and Humanists with a little Saint Francis of Assisi thrown in. We have a gorgeous poem to learn to help us understand God's work over the seven days.
I took a load of lovely winter sun photos the other day of our Remarkable Rabbits. Some I hope to put on Twitter/X but in case you don't really do that, I've uploaded some to this class page. You have to wait a bit for the rotation (as I just can't bear to delete the September photos off!) but they look happy and full of life, right? Below are 3 shots: 1 blowing kisses. 2 very Victorian. 3. whatever you like. Love 'em all!
