This afternoon, Year One had a brilliant summer party as part of their attendance reward. The children enjoyed dancing, singing, eating sweet treats and playing party games. At the end of their party, they had a wonderful time popping bubbles outside. Take a look at some pictures from the afternoon.  

In history Year One have been learning about the pioneering palaeontologist and fossil collector, Mary Anning. To support their knowledge, Year One welcomed The Science Dome and had a t-riffic time learning about a range of dinosaur fossils and the potential reasons for their extinction. Take a look at some of the photos below!

In Science the children have been leaning to identify a range of weather symbols to describe different types of weather. Today the children applied their knowledge and skills to create their own weather forecasts for different parts of the UK. Take a look at their brilliant forecasts. Ask your child to demonstrate their weather forecasting skills!

In Art, the children have created their own fruit and vegetable prints inspired by the artist, Orla Kiely. Take a look at their fantastic prints below. 

This afternoon, Year 1 have made their fruit salads based on their design criteria. They practised different skills such as, cutting, peeling and slicing. The children enjoyed eating and evaluating their fruit salads, where they reflected on what went well, what they found tricky and what they would change. Take a look at some pictures below. 

As part of Design and Technology, Year One designed their own fruit salads. The children handled and tasted different fruits and decided which ones they liked and disliked. They then wrote a list of which fruits they would like to have in their fruit salad and drew a sketch of what their fruit salad will look like. Ask your child what their favourite fruit was!

This morning Year One welcomed Michala from Lion Learners. The children really enjoyed learning lots of facts about the animals and a lot of children were really brave in holding the animals! Ask your child what their favourite animal was and what fact they learned about it. Take a look at some photos from the experience below.

This morning the children in 1MJ showcased their fabulous learning during their class assembly. We are sure you would agree they did a fantastic job in remembering all their lines and singing beautifully in front of the audience. We are all very proud of them! Take a look at some photos from the assembly.

Last week, the children in Year One participated in Bikeability Balance training. The children practised a wide range of skills including; identifying parts of a balance bike, getting on and off a balance bike, pushing and gliding, stopping safely, controlling and steering, being aware of their surroundings and sharing space with others. The instructors were really impressed with everyone's enthusiasm and effort during the sessions. Take a look at some photographs below.
