Year 1 enjoyed our first Books and Breakfast of the school year. SO many families and friends came to join us to share some stories and enjoy some scrumptious snacks. What a perfect ending to the week!
What a fantastic start to year 1 we've had.
Can you believe that we discovered some paw prints on Monday morning, in our playground. We followed them and they led us all the way down to creature corner. We investigated further and discovered a BEAR in the tree holding our topic book for the week.
We listened to the story and then built a campfire and roasted some marshmallows. We wrote all about it in our literacy lessons using some amazing adjectives.
This week year 1 enjoyed 'camping' on the school field! We were SO excited to read our books inside the tents.. some of us even pretended to have a little sleep!
We then roasted marshmallows on the fire! We learned how to keep safe whilst camping and now lots of us would like to go with our families. For the rest of Geography week we have been learning about different types of weather.
Continuing with our animal topic, this week in Art we created our own creatures. We thought about how the animal would move, what it would eat, where it would live and many other features. We then drew a design of this before using junk modelling to make our creature come to life!
To start our new topic of Fur. Feathers and Scales, Year 1 were visited by Ark Farm.
The children had the opportunity to pet and feed different animals such as Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Chicks, Owls, Dogs and Tortoises.
We had prepared lots of questions to ask the ladies and afterwards we all wrote a recount of our experience.
Year one are learning about prepositional language, writing instructions and using adverbs of time.
We were left a letter from a pirate saying that there had been some treasure left somewhere in the outdoor area.
We followed the photo clues hopping over the icy squares, leaping over the crocodile pit, climbing up the rusty rigging and bumping across the rickety pathways that led us to the gleaming booty!
When we got back to class, we wrote instructions for another pirate to find the treasure!
This week the year 1 children have been creating actions and dances to pirate poetry and sea shantys.
The children listened to 'The good ship sails on the ally ally oh' and created an action for each verse. They then wrote about why they chose that action and what it means.
We also looked at the poem 'Yo Ho Ho' and identified rhyming words and then thought of our own to add and extra section.
Year 1 enjoyed our science day last Friday. We went on a 'sound walk' in the morning, trying to identify different sounds around our school. Then had a session exploring lots of different science experiments. We made lava lamps, Jumping raisins, Skittle rainbows, Cup rainbows and talked about how they worked. Some of the children went home and carried on doing experiments, we had lots of photos emailed in!
In Year one our science topic is about Our Sense.
Our lesson this week was focusing on TASTE.
The children had to try different items of food and describe them.
Some were brave enough to try them blindfolded
