Year 1 - Exploring

This week in Year 1, we were given a big surprise when we came into school to find that an alien had crash landed in our school and alien gloop everywhere! Luckily he was a friendly alien called Bob who had come to learn more about our planet, Earth. He wrote us a letter (in an alien language), which our teachers had to translate for us, asking lots of questions. We did some research about why Earth is so special and wrote some letters back to him. We found out things such as the Earth is 71% covered in water, there is a special bubble around the earth called the atmosphere which keeps oxygen in and that there is around 7 billion people on this planet. He has left us now, but we look forward to learning more and writing to him again soon.

On Friday it was RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch. We made a bird feeder using a pine cone by rolling it in softend lard and then bird food. We tied a string and decorated our garden and waiting to see how many birds would come and eat.
