F1 – Faith Day

15th October 2024Amy Woods

F1 have been learning about Sikhism and their special festival, Vaisakhi. We found out that Vaisakhi is a Sikh festival, that celebrates Harvest and New Year. Sikhs go to a special temple called a Gurdwara and listen to readings from their Holy Book. We looked at the special clothes Sikhs wear for this, and in provision coloured in their flags.

Heavy or light?

15th October 2024Amy Woods

This week we have been comparing objects by size, length and capacity. Today we have enjoyed exploring which objects are heavy, which objects are light, and using the scales to to compare this. We addressed the misconception that just because the object is bigger, it doesnā€™t mean it is heavier.
