We looked around our school environment for object made from different materials. We found so many different things which were made from wood, plastic, fabric, metal, glass brick and rubber. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience

In Maths today we investigated odd and even numbers. We used practical equipment to help us. We know that even numbers end on 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 and can be shared equally between 2 but odd numbers cannot. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydMaths

In science today we’ve enjoyed exploring our outdoor area to find different materials. We described their properties using scientific vocabulary. We know that glass is transparent, rubber is strong, plastic is waterproof and fabric is absorbent. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience

We enjoyed hunting for objects made from different materials. We found objects made from metal, wood, glass, paper and plastic. We thought about how the objects looked and how they felt. We used adjectives to describe them. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience

We have enjoyed sorting animals into categories. We discussed features of mammals, fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and mini beasts.🦁🦎🐠🦚🐸 @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience

Today we had some special visitors to help us with our science topic ‘Animals including Humans’. We discussed changes, growth and development of humans from birth to adults and recognised differences between the babies. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience @DaneRoydY2 @DaneRoydY1_2

Today we have been learning about animals and their offspring. We have sorted through toy animals and found their offspring and then we enjoyed a cut and stick activity matching animals and their offspring. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience

In Religious Education we are learning all about the Islamic religion. We have sorted symbols of Christianity and Islam and listed facts about Islam. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydRE

We identified parts of the body and labelled them. We also enjoyed singing .Head, shoulders, knees and toes’. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience

We enjoyed setting up the Nativity scene using small world figures. Some of us chose to look at books all about the birth of Jesus and even acted out the special story whilst others wrote sentences about the story. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydRE

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed exploring the hands on, sensory play based learning activities today. It was a great opportunity for us to use our knowledge and understanding of our topic Living Things and their Habitats whilst discussing misconceptions. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience

We are truly in the festive swing! Year 1 enjoyed a fabulous Christmas party this afternoon and even had a visit from Santa himself!! 🎅🏼 @Daneroydschool #9MoreSleepsToGo 🎁🎄

The children have enjoyed learning all about The first Christmas in RE. We discussed different versions of the story and then sequenced the story, matching pictures to sentences. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydRE

Well done to Year 1 for a superb effort in your Santa Dash this afternoon. 🎅🏼 @DaneRoydSchool @DaneRoydPTFA

We are continuing our learning about living things and their habitats, focusing on worldwide habitats. We’ve enjoyed sorting animals & living things into rainforest, polar and ocean habitats. We‘re excited to look at desert and grassland habitats. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience

Our attendance this week is 98%. Make sure you are in next week, to find out what happens at the end of our story! 🐻🐰 @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydAttendance

Thank you to everyone for coming to our PROUD afternoon. We hope you enjoyed creating your coat of arms and spending time in school with your children. 🛡🏰 @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydPROUD

Our attendance this week is 97.33% Let's make sure we're all in next week for our Read, Write Inc assessments. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydAttendance Here's a reminder of the set 2 sounds we've been learning, I hope you recognise them all speedily!

In science we met Speedy the cat. We know that a cat is a mammal as they have fur, 4 legs, are warm blooded and breaths air. 🐈We tried to feed him different foods and learned that he is a carnivore as he only eats meat. @DaneRoydSchool #DaneRoydScience

We're so excited for our trip to Conisborough Castle tomorrow! 🏰 Remember to bring a coat and wear comfortable shoes. Children need a backpack to carry their lunch in too - this is provided by school but they can bring extra snacks. @DaneRoydSchool @DaneRoydY1 @DaneRoydY1_2
