In PSHE, Year 1 have been exploring the different life cycles of animals and humans. At first we looked at our own life cycle and discussed our different life experiences of having older/younger siblings and shared these with the rest of the class. We then ordered these as a whole class.

We discussed how we grow and the changes that happen to our bodies and how this is OK! It happens to all of us! We then discussed that it isn’t just humans that grow but animals also have life cycles. In groups, Year 1 worked hard to order different life cycles. Some groups had frogs, others had chickens or butterflies! It was so interesting to see how they changed and learn the key vocabulary such as frog spawn, froglets, chicks, cocoon etc!
