We used compasses to direct our partners around the playground. We directed them using the language north, south, east and west. We enjoyed making up silly rhymes to remember the compass points. Naughty, Silly, Earth, Worm was one of our favourites and Naughty, Elephants, Squirt, Water.

We have enjoyed finding out and sorting what different animals eat. We have used the vocabulary herbivore, carnivore and omnivore. We have also thought about what we eat! 

We enjoyed listening to the stories that the Year 4’s read to us. We also enjoyed trying to guess the ‘Masked Readers’ from Y4 and Y1 ! They were very well disguised !
