Year one's day 'on the move'!

We had such a lovely day today on our trip to London!

We managed to try out 5 different types of transport.

Transport Biscuits

Today we followed instructions to make biscuits.

We used transport shaped cookie cutters to cut them into vehicle shapes and then we cooked them in the oven.

When they were cooked, we decorated them with icing and added fruit to make them look like cars, trucks, trains and planes!

Did you enjoy your transport biscuit?

Here is the recipe if you would like to make your own iced biscuits...

Terrific Transport

We love our 'On the move' topic!




In our science lessons, we have been investigating which material is best for making model planes. We made a hypothesis (prediction) and then made our planes out of the different materials.

We chose to test paper, fabric, foil, tissue, cardboard and newspaper.We measured how far each plane travelled and made sure we started from the same place every time so that it was fair.

We got lots of different answers but most groups found out that paper or card were the best materials for making a plane!







We also LOVE playing in our fantastic garage roleplay area.
We practice cleaning the cars and have lots of tools to fix them.

 

  We were interested in finding out what is under the bonnet of a real car so we went to explore Mrs McDonald's car!

Can you remember what all of the different parts are for?                      engine                       steering wheel     dipstick                           fuel tank   pedals                    ignition                                                             indicators                                      headlights                                                               brake lights                                                          mirrors

1W's Garage

1W have really been enjoying their new garage. We have even made our own tools and cars.

Non fiction or fiction?

This week in literacy, we have been learning about the difference between fiction (story) and non-fiction (information) books.

Which of these books is fiction and which is non-fiction?

How do you know?
