On Thursday we were lucky enough to have a visit from Nick from Hall Farm. He brought his tractor along with him and a huge bag of vegetables, fresh from the farm. We had written questions to ask him and he answered them giving us lots of information. He showed us round his tractor and told us what the different parts do. On Friday, we then made vegetable soup with the carrots, onions and potatoes. We have been thinking about writing instructions and how we use bossy verbs, numbers and a title to make a recipe clear. Well done Year 1, the soup was delicious!

In guided reading we have been looking at a book called The Naughty Bus by Jan and Jerry Oke. Last week we had a mystery present left in the classroom which looked just like the one from the book. We made predictions about what we thought was inside. The children were so excited to read the book and find out what happened. Our guided reading sessions allow us to get really immersed in a book. We really want them to have a love of reading in Year 1. We are learning that reading is more than just reading the words it about interpreting and understanding the text as well. Our sessions help us predict, review and find answers to questions in the text. We use different icons to help the children identify what we are learning each session.
