Year 1

Year 1 had so much fun this afternoon! They all took part in an Easter sponsored hopstacle event where they had to jump over and around various obstacles!

As part of their DT topic this term the Year 1 children have been looking at which  foods make a healthy breakfast. The children tasted a variety of different fruits and yoghurt to decide which ones they would like to put in their own healthy breakfast!

Year 1 have been looking at the Jewish religion as part of their RE. They learnt about the celebration of Purim and the story of Esther. The children made their own graggers which are noisemakers used to frighten off the wicked Haman.

Year 1 had great fun for World Book Day! They came dressed up as their favourite book character, we read books the children had brought in and wrote about their favourite character.

This half term the children in Year 1 are looking at where they could visit in the world. The children started their investigation by trying to name as many different countries in the world as they could. They named 27 countries! The children then used atlases to locate some of those countries.

Year 1 have been looking at the use of line in their art this term. They created their own pictures using contour lines to make them appear 3D. How amazing are their creations!

Last week the whole school took part in a Music Workshop.  The children enjoyed playing instruments and singing along to the songs.

In science Year 1 have been investigating different materials and their properties. They were given the challenge of building a den that would fit Fred Frog in and be waterproof so that he didn’t get wet when it rained. The dens were amazing and all were waterproof!

The Year 1 children had a lovely time doing art work as part of  their sharing assembly. They told their adults which artists they had been looking at and they then did a drawing with their adult from memory! Thank you to everyone who attended.
