Getting ready for Assembly & Counting Animals

On Monday the year 1 team are hosting the school Assembly. 

Our class has decided that we would like to show the school how we have been learning to count animals. In maths we have been pretending to be farmers and have been adding our toy animals and counting them. 

Last week Elizabeth made a witch hat at home (in response to the "Witch in the Cherry Tree") and shared it at news time. It was fun pretending to be a witch and having a hat helped Elizabeth stay in the character of "Witchlet". 

 This gave us the idea that maybe having a farmers hat would help us pretend to be farmers and help us count animals. 

We explored how we could make hats out of cardboard. The first hat Miss Derhamy made was too floppy and the brim came down into Emma's eyes. 

She decided to try again with thicker cardboard that was less floppy. Miss Derhamy changed the design and it worked. We followed her instructions and worked in groups of three to construct our farmers hats. Tomorrow we are going to design and make costumes for the farm animals.
