Year 1 Blog From Miss Hobbs

​This term year 1 have been focusing on their five senses. This week they focused on the sense ‘smell’ and carried out an experiment to predict what item was in a box. The children were brilliant at guessing what was inside the box just by using their sense of smell, where they got almost all items correct!
 

Furthermore,  Year 1 have been focusing on measurement. They have been comparing length and height using everyday objects and using the language, long, longer, short, shorter, tall and taller to compare a range of objects in the classroom. After this, they were introduced to measuring everyday objects using a ruler. They learnt to start measuring from 0cm and rounded their answers to the nearest whole number.
In addition, year 1 have began looking at weight and mass. They discussed the words heavy and light and looked around the classroom for objects and described them using the correct language. They then found two objects and demonstrated which object is heaver and which is lighter using their arms to resemble a weighing scale.
learnt to compare length and height. We used everyday objects to understand and compare length and height. We used the words long, longer, short, shorter, tall, taller to compare the object.
