Year 1 Make it to the Moon!

Have you lost your toy in the garden? Year 1 read a story called “Toys in Space” and met an interesting character called the “Hoctopize” who was taking all the toys in gardens as he searched to find his lost toy, Cuddles! We loved all the characters in the story and especially the ending where Cuddles was found! Year 1 recreated the surface of the moon using sand and rocks and thought about adjectives and phrases to describe what it’s like on the moon. In history, we met the three astronauts who landed on the moon and we watched the moon landing. We also received a post card from Mr Benbow who had been to the moon and the children decided to write one back! In maths, we have been working hard to consolidate our adding and taking away using beaded lines and counting-on strategies. Our art lesson got a bit messy as we created moon slime to make our own moons with mountains and craters.
