This week for science the Puffins have been focusing on senses. Today we have explored the sense of touch. The children were able to feel and describe how something felt and was able to relay this information back to their partner to guess what the object could be.
The Puffins have been learning all about the different parts of the body and in their groups also labelled them. We discussed why it was important to have a skeleton and learnt the fact that the adult body has 206 bones!
As part of our Science topic the children explored the forest and found lots of minibeasts lurking. The children were able to identify and share facts about the mini beasts they found and the habitats they live in.
As part of our growing topic for Science today, the Puffins have planted some cress seeds and will be observing how they grow over the next week.
As part of our Science topic, Year 1 Puffins have been learning about Light and Dark. Today they have been exploring what shadows are and how to make them.
We have been exploring our eyes this week. Today we have focussed on sight learning all about how the eye works. We also explored how we would feel if we had no sight.
Today the children have starting their science topic on Animals. As part of the introduction to this topic they have been classifying animals into the given groups.
‘Fish lay their eggs in the water’ Daisy B
‘If you stroke a snake they are cold so that means their reptiles’ Liam
‘Parrots have feathers not fur so they are birds’ Alexi
As part of Science, Puffins have been learning about materials. Today they have been exploring the properties of different materials and discussing what materials would be fit for different purposes and why.
Today the children have been using their learnt skills to dissect and label the different parts of a plant.
What a fantastic day we have had at the ThinkTank! We saw lots of amazing things and joined in a great lesson all about Light and Dark. Thank you to the fab parent volunteers for their hard work.
