Year 1 Geography- Natural and Manmade Objects

The children sorted the different objects into manmade and natural objects. We went on a walk around the school looking for more objects.

We have been learning about cross-hatching in art today. We used charcoal, pencils and pens to make the marks and smudged some of the marks with our fingers.

Handwriting in Year 1

Today we have been practising our letter formation in Year 1, with a focus on the letter ‘a’
