Science:

We have been continuing our learning about Seasons in Class 1 this week.  We have been learning how the earth’s tilt affects our seasons and how that in turn affects our weather and daily temperatures.

Year ones made rain gauges to measure and record how much rain we get each day, although we’re having a bit of a race each day to get to them before some kind person tips our rain water away, or fills our containers with some other water they have collected!

Reception and year one children together made wind socks so that we can see which direction the wind is coming from.  This then led on to a discussion about which directions North, South, East and West are.  We will be looking at a compass later this week to make sure our directions are correct!  We also talked about why south isn’t just down towards the ground as it appears on a globe.  More work on this to follow.
