Year 1 No Pen Morning

Date: 16th Apr 2024 @ 5:56pm

Today Year 1 enjoyed No Pen Day! We began our Science lesson by identifying the different parts of a tree, including the roots, trunk, bark, branches, leaves and crown. We then labelled these parts on a tree independently, either using the text tool on Seesaw or reading the parts and matching them to the correct label.

We then learnt what the words deciduous and evergreen meant. We looked at examples of each and discussed what we noticed about the different leaves. We learnt that evergreen leaves are usually thicker, leathery and waxier than the leaves of deciduous trees. We felt some examples from different trees, including holly, laurel and hazel. We then completed an evergreen and deciduous tree sort.
