​Year 1 have been working very hard with their writing about our class book Traction Man. They have written their favourite part of the story and have written amazing character descriptions.
Well done Year 1!

The children worked in groups to sequence one of the missions discussed in our class book Traction Man. Working as a group, they sequenced the images into chronological order of the mission taking place. This session allowed the children to orally rehearse using the past tense. They were encouraged to use the following Adverbial phrases:
 unfortunately
 luckily
 suddenly
 just then
 just in time
 early one morning
 late one evening
 one afternoon
 out in the garden

​The children answered the big question ‘What materials are waterproof?’. They investigated which materials would be best for Traction Man when he is exploring the bath. First, they predicted which material would be the most waterproof. In small groups they used a pipette filled with water and observed which materials absorbed the water and when the water sat on top of the material (waterproof). 

The children participated in Godly Play and listened to the story of the Visitation. We responded to the following ‘I wonder’ statements:

• I wonder how Mary felt when she was travelling to see Elizabeth
• I wonder how Elizabeth felt about Mary staying with her
• I wonder what Mary and Elizabeth talked about
