Class of 2029

This week in Science, Y1 learnt all about human eyesight. We carried out a practical science experiment which involved throwing a bean bag into a bucket. Firstly we attempted to get the bean bag into the bucket with both our eyes open, then with one eye covered and lastly, completely blind folded.…

Y1 had a fantastic Jigsaw lesson this week, we explored eachother’s differences and discussed how important it is for us to be kind to each other.  The children were really excited to learn some new things about their peers. 
 

Year 1 had a fantastic morning with Danny from Curious Critters. The children learnt lots of exciting facts which shocked us all. They then had the opportunity to get up close with these animals and insects! The children were even brave enough to hold some of them. Well done Year 1. 
 

…

Year 1 are enjoying WW2 week. The children made their own evacuation suit case and compared the difference between the things that the children would have put in them and what children today would pack. They also enjoyed a WW2 workshop to learn all about WW2

Year 1 enjoyed meeting the Pearl of Africa choir and taking part in activities throughout the day, including singing, drumming and dancing.

Year 1 have been learning about the 7 continents. They located them and compared the distance with Europe, the North Pole and South Pole on the globes. They even logged into a live webcam at Antarctica.

Year 1 worked collaboratively to group and categorise animals into 5 groups based on their features. They were shocked to find out that humans are actually animals!

In RE, Year 1 have #enjoyed listening to the Creation story. We looked at what happened each day and the children retold the story using their drawings. 
 

Year 1 #enjoyed using drawing pencils to draw their self portraits. We used thin lines to create a line drawing, using mirrors to see the shapes our faces make. 
 

Year 1 have #enjoyed a history lesson as they learnt about what explorers need to go on adventure. They explored different telescopes and even #embraced the challenge of making their own.

Year 1 #embraced filling their pages with lots of marks in todays session. We looked at which materials gives us thin lines and which gives us thick lines. Lots of experimentation today!
