What We Have Been Up To

Please feel free to have a look and read through what we have been doing throughout the school year.

Olivia Owl

Thanks to the children who have looked after Olivia Owl so far this half term. She is really enjoying hearing your stories.

History

Year 1 have been learning about the past within living memory. We have looked at toys and games our families have played in the past and what TV programmes and cartoons they may have watched. We have also look at transport over the years and how this is similar and different to today. Here are some images of what we have been getting up to.

DT

We have had a good time researching, designing, making and evaluating our sliders we created ourselves. Have a look at our images below. 

17th October 2024

We had a good week making Pumpkin soup and then of course tasting it. We wrote instructions on how to make the pumpkin soup including imperative verbs and fronted adverbials.

October 2024 - Autumn Poetry writng

We looked at lots of images of autumn and spoke about what we could see. We tried to use adjectives to describe the nouns and include a comma to seperate the adjectives.

Have a look at what we wrote.

November 2024

We thought about the sights and sounds of bonfire night and tried to use alliteration to write some lines of poetry about rockets and bonfires. Have a read of some of our poems. We even tried to use commas to separate our adjectives.

Science

We learnt about the autumn season and the changes that take place before winter. We looked at animals that hibernate for the winter and focused on hedgehogs. We discovered why they hibernated and looked in detail at their hibernaculum. We worked in groups to create out own hibernaculums. We then drew a diagram of these and labelled the leaves, grass and wood that the hedgehog would use to keep warm and protected. Some children even included some apples for a winter snack!

We have recently started our new topic in science called 'All About Me.' Our first lesson was learning and finding out about the basic body parts. Have a look at what happened when we drew around some of the class and labelled them!

Wednesday 4th December 2024

We had a great morning visiting Christ Church, learning about the Christian celebration of Advent. We made pictures of the stable with stickers and coloured in a picture of an Advent wreath. We learnt the Nativity story and sang some carols. We had a great time with our guide Faith, who helped us to understand the story.
