Class of 2025

Year 1 have been carefully carrying out their experiment to find the best material for an underwater outfit! We needed to find out what happened when water was poured onto it. Did it get absorbed? Did it drip through into the bottle? Or did it sit on top? 

After lots of testing, we found that…

In Year 1 we have really been #enjoying the story of Traction Man! He has an outfit for every mission, and it always ready for anything! Until... he needed our help to create a brand new outfit for him! He wanted to go on an underwater mission in the bath. 

Together we had a think about what we…

As we celebrated Australia day, we explored the bush fires and how they started. Year 1 couldn't believe somebody would set fire to that beautiful landscape! We soon learnt that it was not just one person, but the actions of everybody contributing to climate change! We #embraced the challenge of…

Today Year 1 began looking at some brand new books. Each child showed how beautifully they can work with a partner as they took turns to help the other read each page. It was so lovely to see children helping their partners sound out words they struggled with and encourage each other to keep…

In English, Year 1 have been using their best bossy voices to understand bossy (imperative) verbs! We spotted the verbs in some instructions then had 2 minutes to write down as many bossy verbs as we could think of! #evolve 

We had a little bit of time before the Christmas fair, and what better way to spend it than refreshing our knowledge of 'doubles' - Christmas style! We worked hard to find the answer for each doubles question, before using the answers to complete our 'colour by numbers' Christmas pictures. A super…

Wow, what a treat we had today! A very large, fluffy visitor came in to read us his new Christmas story! The whole class listened beautifully to the story of how Monty Dogge saved Christmas. Then they got their chance to give Monty some lovely big, soft cuddles! Reading and dogs, what could be…

In a cosy corner of the classroom, Year 1 have been working hard to write their letters to Father Christmas! By using their phonics knowledge and their very best writing they have written some absolutely beautiful letters. We'd better get them posted to the North Pole! Only 20 more…

Year 1 are nearing the end of their 'Numbers to 20' unit in Maths. They are now tackling one of the more difficult skills: finding all the number sentences in a 'fact family'! Amidst all the excitement of Christmas, Year 1 have still been working hard by using practical equipment to help them find…

Year One were shocked to find plates of animal poo in their classroom this afternoon! We were brave enough to have a close look at each plate to decide whether the animals they came from were carnivores, herbivores or omnivores! 

To round off #Remembrance2019 Week, Year One visited the cenotaph in the Victory Garden at the front of school! Before we went we talked about why people visit cenotaphs and what they mean. We took some time to say a silent thank you to all those people who died in the World Wars to keep others…

Year 1 have been fascinated with our learning about evacuation during the World Wars! We looked inside an evacuees suitcase and wondered what we would take if we had to be evacuated to the countryside! #evolve
