Easter Week

Thank you for the wonderful work on the Easter Gardens. They were wonderful to have in the class, albeit for a short time.

How many more minutes?

Last week in Science week, we explored time.

We learnt what we can do in a minute, from how many star jumps to how many times we can write our name.

We looked at the lifecycle of a bee and other cycles of life we see in nature.

We linked all the learning to our Science topic of seasonal changes and learning about the months of the year, which we then shared with our families and the school in our Learning Assembly.

World Book Day

The class came dressed as their favourite “book” characters and we shared books with Year 5 and took part in other fun related book activities, like quizzes.

I have started to refresh the book corner to reflect the changing needs of the class and remind the children of the power of our imagination.

Toy Museum

This week Year One have taken part in a Toys Through Time Workshop. The class played with toys from different eras and made from different materials.
