We had a lovely time at the museum yesterday learning all about dinosaurs! We got to touch 'dinosaur skin', looked at fossils and even saw a dinosaur jaw! Here are some photos of us exploring during te workshop...

Dino Fun!
We are all really enjoying our Dinosaur
topic so far. This afternoon we had so much fun getting arty and crafty! We
muddled up the classes to give us a chance to make new friends and to have a go
at working with other children and got stuck in with our dinosaur art!
Some of us made huge 3d dinosaurs using
junk modeling; some of them can even chew and bite! Some of us made dinosaurs eggs out of papier-mâché
and some of us made dinosaur bones using salt dough. Tomorrow we are going to
rotate around and have a go at a different dinosaur art project.
Thank you to all of our wonderful helpers!
Dangerous Dinosaurs!
Wow! You all worked so hard over the half-term
holiday on your dinosaur project. We’re sorry we didn’t have a chance to share
it earlier last week but it was definitely worth the wait!
We all enjoyed the dinosaur gallery we
created in the classroom where we had the chance to look at everyone else’s homework
and learn something new from our friends. We then shared our homework telling
each other what we found out, how we carried out our research and how we
created our marvelous models, posters and presentations!
Lots of children used the internet and
books to find out about their chosen dinosaur, some children even visited the exhibition
at Bristol Zoo, others went to M-Shed and a few children even visit Bristol
Museum!
Take a look at our fantastic facts and marvelous
models!

Investigation Week
At the end of each term it is investigation week across the
whole school so we have enjoyed a jam packed week full of problem solving,
puzzles and investigations in Year 1. It all kicked off with a visit and
fantastic workshop from the Happy Puzzle Company. We had to work as a team to
solve different puzzles, find out what was making the problem tricky to solve
and work out a way to resolve it.
Ride at the fair: Lucy had a ride at the fair. Her mum asked her to pay less than 20p towards it. Lucy paid exactly 3 coins towards the ride. We had to find all of the different possible ways Lucy could have paid her mum.
Then throughout the week we worked as a whole class, in
small groups, in a pairs and on our own to solve different maths puzzles and
problems. Here are some of the investigations and problems we have completed. Maybe
you could try any you didn’t do this week at home.
Four-pin bowling: We labelled four bowling pins with the
numbers 1 to 4. We then had to work out which pins we had to knock over with
our beanbag to make different totals.
Gob-stopper: We pretended we bought a sweet or toy that cost
6p and paid for it exactly. We tried to find all the possible ways we could
make 6p using different coins.
Pick a pair: We had the numbers 1,4,2, and 8. We picked a
pair of numbers, added them together, found the total and wrote the number
sentence. We then picked a different pair of numbers. We tried to be systematic
to make sure we found all of the possibilities.
Sum up: We had the numbers 2,4,8 and 3. We had to make the
totals 9,10,11,12 and 13 using only these numbers. Ride at the fair: Lucy had a ride at the fair. Her mum asked her to pay less than 20p towards it. Lucy paid exactly 3 coins towards the ride. We had to find all of the different possible ways Lucy could have paid her mum.
