Year One

Minibeasts in Year One!

Recently we started a new Unit of Inquiry. Through the central idea, Minibeasts play a role in our world, we have been inquiring into minibeasts by recognising their common features, their behaviour and role they play.

In our inquiry lessons so far, we have delved into wonderful worms and slimy snails. Next, we will be inquiring into amazing ants. Throughout this exploration, we've gained insights into their features, diets, habitats, and the roles they play in our ecosystem. Our learning journey has been both exciting and enriching.

During our writing lessons, we have actively been transferring and consolidating our knowledge. This involves identifying and understanding technical vocabulary, creating word walls, recording labelled diagrams, and writing fact files.

We are excited to share what we've learned and the photos we've captured during this unit. We look forward to hearing about any minibeast discoveries you make over the holidays!
