Instructions

Year 1 had to follow instructions to make their very own jam sandwich. We looked at Ernest Shakleton - an explorer who had to give and follow instructions to keep his crew safe. We will be writing our own instructions within the next week.

Making Igloos

This half term, Year 1 have been tasked to design, create and make their very own igloo. They had to think about the shape and purpose. They look great!

No Pens' Day

Year 1 were tasked to follow a set of instructions to create a really yummy treat. They had to listen and work together to assemble their treat. They had so much fun doing this and they enjoyed eating it even more!

God's Planet

The wonderful Eco-Committee came to see Year 1 and tell them how they look after God’s beautiful planet at school. They also shared some inspirational ideas that we could do outside school. It was truly inspiring to see all the different ways we can look after the world!  We can all be stewards!

Sounds Walk

Year 1 listened to a new poem called The Sound Collector by Roger McGough. We went on a sounds walk around the school and heard lots of exciting things such as Mrs Taylor-Law teaching, music lessons and even Year 5 doing a spelling test. Outside, we heard cars whizzing past,  the crunching of leaves, red kites and the wind whistling. We came back and wrote all the different sounds we heard on our walk.

CAFOD Pledge Day

We started the day off with an assembly about all the special things we would like with us, if we were going somewhere, followed by making pilgrimage shells. Year 1 decorated these and took them on our very special pilgrimage around the school. We ended the day by making our own pledge and promising to help our adults at home as a way of giving back to the community! We had lots of fun.

Seasons

Year 1 looked at the change of seasons from Summer to Autumn. We looked at what different activities we would do in the different seasons but also the different clothes we would wear. Year 1 were tasked to create a tree that would appear in Autumn. We went outside and observed the different changes that had occurred. We collected some leaves to add to our tree.

The Human Body

Year 1 had an exciting lesson learning about the different parts of the human body. We went outside and drew outlines of each other and labelled them with the correct terminology.

God's Creation

Year 1 have been learning about God’s creation. They listened to the story of how God created the world and illustrated a number based on what God did that day! We think they look great!
