Year 1

Welcome to Classes 3 and 4

Stickman

We have loved reading the story Stickman by Julia Donaldson and enjoyed creating our own.

Shadow Puppets

We have been learning about light sources and bioluminescence in science. Our angler fish shadow puppets were amazing!

Christmas Robins

Class 4 had a fantastic time making Christmas robins with Ashley’s mum.

We have been having fun making Christmas decorated branches to hang in the school hall.

Dragon!

Describing a beautiful dragon picture inspired by the book Tell me a Dragon in our book sharing assembly.

Spanish

In Spanish we have been learning about night time and have sung the songs La Lechuza (The Owl) and Estrellita donde estas (Twinkle twinkle little star).

Explorer Dome

Year 1 had a fantastic time with the Explorer Dome this week.

We explored the solar system and listened to the story of Orion the Hunter, his dog Sirius and the Moon Goddess.

We loved our journey into Space! It was so exciting.

Mary Seacole

For Black History Month we learned about Mary Seacole. We found out that she was a nurse who worked in the Crimean war helping soldiers by making medicines for them. We made our own medicines using Aloe Vera, Ginger and Lemongrass.

Apple Pies

We read the book The Apple Pie Tree. We made Apple Pies and weighed all of the ingredients. They were really tasty!

I Can Fly!

We read the book I can fly by Fifi Kuo about Little Penguin who wanted to learn to fly.

We did lots of fun activities about penguins and also thought about things we wanted to learn to do and then wrote about them.

Exploring Autumn

Year 1 were being Autumn explorers. We went on a scavenger hunt around the school grounds and the wild area to see what Autumn things we could find. We then wrote an Autumn themed poem.
