Year 1 - Australia Day
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…
Year 1 - Reading together!
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…
Year 1 - Bossy verbs!
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
Year 1 - Christmas Doubles!
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…

Year 1 get a stinky surprise in Science!
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!
Year 1 - Visiting the Victory Garden and cenotaph
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…
Evacuation
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

Sorting animals into groups in Y1!

Year One - Hot and Cold Countries
In Geography we have been comparing hot and cold countries to Skelmersdale! Today we explored the world using Google Earth (which Year One loved!) and recognised deserts, snow and fields.
