In Science this term, we have learnt about materials. Our Starfishes have explored different materials and learnt to differentiate between objects and materials. We know that some objects such as rocks, paper etc. can be objects and as well as materials. We have also explored uses of materials and we have enjoyed considering what material…
In Forest School today, we planted some magic beans! We learnt about what seeds need to grow such as sunlight, good soil and water! Finally, we predicted how tall our magic beans will grow and then, we drew this for all to see. Who knows, we may have a hen that lays golden…
As you all know, we had our Commonwealth Games & Sports Week last week. Each class chose a Commonwealth country to explore. In Year 1, we explored Nigeria, which is one of the countries in the Commonwealth. We looked on Google Maps to find Nigeria and the capital city. Then, we had a video call…
On Monday, all of Year 1 took an exciting trip to a very special place… where history merged with science. We saw giant flying machines, rocket launchers and amour tanks and how they have evolved over the years! How can machines so huge and weighty fly in the air? What about gravity? It was a…
We had another lovely Forest School session this week. We were not afraid too get dirty as we made some leaf prints with Mrs Harrison and Mrs Zaib. Do you like our patterns?

In today’s forest school session, this was extended as the children made a ‘friendship brew’ by talking about what makes a good friend and how we can spread…
Over the last couple of weeks, we have been learning about Neil Armstrong and the first ‘Manned Moon Landing’. So for art today, we manipulated and shaped clay to create 3D moons. We used some clay modelling tools and our fingers to create the craters! The end product … Next week, we paint!
We are pleased to say that our tiny butterfly eggs have now evolved into beautiful butterflies! Today, we finally let them fly away to begin a life filled with adventures. We had to wait a couple of days for one little caterpillar who was still eating and growing in it’s cocoon. We were all very…
