Science in Year 1

In Science we have been learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.

We learnt that a carnivore is an animal that eats other animals, for example, a lion, a frog and a bat. A herbivore is an animal that eats plants, for example, a rabbit, a panda and a cow. An omnivore is an animal that eats both plants and other animals, for example, a pig, a chicken and a monkey.

We used our research skills to read an e-book and find out what different animals eat.

 

Then we launched ourselves into learning about spring. We went on a ‘Signs of Spring’  hunt around the school grounds. We noticed blossom and lots of buds growing on the trees around the field. We noticed that the willow tree was becoming greener and we spotted daffodils and bluebells growing.

How you can help at home:

Do some research about your favourite animals.

Make a fact file about your favourite animal and include some information about what they eat.

Draw or take a photograph of the signs of spring you notice when you’re out and about.

Enjoy the Easter holidays!
